Part of an atherectomy specimen derived from an in-stent restenotic lesion A: macroscopic view of the retrieved atherectomy specimen, showing partially removed stent struts embedded in bluish-white restenosis tissue (white arrows). B: anti-CD3 stained section, showing clusters of T cells around the empty spaces corresponding with the sites of stent struts. Boxed area in detail shown in C. D: anti-CD40L staining, showing a subpopulation of activated T cells within the infiltrate. E: anti-eosinophil staining.

Sections of atherectomy specimen derived from a restenotic lesion after balloon angioplasty. Yellow pigment (arrows) represents ceroid pigment (endpoint of lipid peroxidation). A: overview, anti-CD68 stained section, showing extensive areas of closely packed macrophages B: detailed section of 3a, indicating massive infiltration of macrophages in lipid rich tissue. C: detailed anti-CD3 stained section, showing T cells associated with ceroid pigment D: anti-CD3/CD25 stained section illustrating a few interleukin-2 receptor expressing T cells as a marker of recent onset activation.
