Figure 3.
Box plot of fibrinogen and platelet deposition. Box plots summarizing surface coverage of each stent type by fibrinogen and platelets. Fibrinogen deposition (left panel) on the standard/uncoated drug eluting stent (DES) was significantly lower than on bare metal stent (BMS) and on the Electret-coated drug eluting stent (e-DES) was significantly lower than both DES and BMS. Similar findings were noted for platelet deposition (right panel) but the differences were statistically significant only between e-DES and BMS.
