Case 5. Scanning electron microscopic findings obtained 1 week after stenting for the rabbit that became paraparetic after stenting reveal that the lumbar artery (asterisk) in the stent is patent without thrombus. The diameter of the lumbar artery is 729 μm. Endothelial integrity is injured along the struts by stent expansion (arrows), and underlying smooth muscle fiber is exposed in part of the luminal surface because of post-processing (original magnification ×100).
