Histological assessment of coronary artery tissue stented with PES and EES in STZ-induced type I diabetic swine. Histopathological scoring (mean ± standard deviation, n = 11) revealed delayed neointimal healing in response to PES after 90 days. Both A) inflammation and B) fibrin were significantly increased in response to PES (Taxus) (p < 0.05) compared to EES (Xience V). C) No significant differences in neointimal immaturity were found between PES and EES. * p < 0.05
