Flow diverters (FDs) carry the risk of thromboembolic complications associated with the device and bleeding complications associated with dual antiplatelet therapy. We hypothesize that an antithrombotic surface-coated FD (ASCFD) would have less acute thrombus formation and better endothelialization on the device surface compared with uncoated FD. ⋯ In the rabbit model, the ASCFD is associated with less thrombus formation at the acute stage, less inflammation, less vessel injury, and better endothelialization on the device surface compared with the PFD.
