Figure 3 A, Rabbit trachea with stent in place 3 weeks after implantation. B, Trachea with severe inflammation and hemorrhages 4 weeks after implantation, stent removed. C, Discolored polydioxanone stent together with exudation and hyperplasia of mucosa 5 weeks after implantation. D, No stent is present in the trachea at 10 weeks after implantation; however, persistent inflammation and hyperplasia are present. E, Tracheal mucosa is slightly hyperemic with no signs of hyperplasia at 15 weeks after implantation. There is no more stent in the trachea, and there is only minimal scar tissue (asterisk).

Figure 4 A, At 3 weeks after implantation, segmental necrosis of the tracheal mucosa at the previous site of the stent fiber, which has been removed (Hematoxylin–eosin staining; original magnification, ×100). B, At 4 weeks after implantation, rich heterophilic infiltrate between stent strands (asterisks), desquamation of the epithelium, and congestion of mucosal blood vessels (original magnification, ×40). C, At 10 weeks after implantation, hyperplastic epithelium with mild to moderate infiltration of heterophils, hyperplasia of goblet cells, and hyperplastic fibrous tissue of lamina propria markedly infiltrated with plasma cells and lymphocytes, especially perivascularly (original magnification, ×100). D, At 3 weeks after implantation, moderate epithelial hyperplasia and mild infiltration of the epithelium with heterophils. There is also moderate fibroplasia in lamina propria and moderate infiltration with heterophils (original magnification ×400). E, At 5 weeks after implantation, necrosis of tracheal cartilage with degenerated heterophils (original magnification, ×100). F, At 15 weeks after implantation, marked goblet cell hyperplasia in the tracheal epithelium in the place of previous stent implantation with mild to moderate lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the epithelium and lamina propria (original magnification, ×400).
