Figure 5From: Evaluation of endoscopic vein extraction on structural and functional viability of saphenous vein endothelium Immunofluorescent labeling of endothelial cell markers in SV samples. Representative fluorescence images showing normal distribution of caveolin, eNOS, von Willebrand factor and cadherin in both, OSVH and VsEVH groups. Harvesting of SV using the VirtuoSaph endoscopic technique did not damage or alter the localization of proteins in the endothelium. Magnification = 400 x.Back to article page
