Fig. 3From: Development of a universal, oriented antibody immobilization method to functionalize vascular prostheses for enhanced endothelialization for potential clinical applicationAssessment of the integrity and deformability of the coating on an expanded Graftmaster RX coronary stent system by SEM. Panel a shows a coated Graftmaster RX coronary stent system before expansion. After expansion, no cracking, fissuring, or peeling was seen on the coated metal surface (panels b and c), and on the ePTFE the coating remained elastic with no peeling or flaking (panels d and e)Back to article page
