There is also a trend towards lesser intensity of the neointimal formation and stenosis areas in comparison to the BMS after 28 days. More than 80% of cells captured by the monoclonal antibody express the markers of endothelial cells, while only 30% of the cells are positive for EC markers on the surface of BMS. The complete endothelial coverage was observed just 48 hours after using the EPC-capture stents and a significant degree of endothelialisation was present within 1 hour after implantation.
