The Effect of Silver Nanofibers on the Deformation Properties of Blood Vessels: Towards the Development of New Nanotechnologies to Prevent Rupture of Aneurysms

Figure 5

Representative SEM images of (a) the control blood vessel. Images of the surface of a blood vessel where the silver nanofibers were grown are labeled (b), (c), and (d). The diameter and length distribution of the one dimensional nanostructures grown on the surface of the blood vessels are illustrated in (e) and (f), respectively.
