Modulating the Release Kinetics of Paclitaxel from Membrane-Covered Stents Using Different Loading Strategies

Membrane-covered Express2TM Monorail® stents composed of chitosan (CH) blended with polyethylene oxide (PEO) in 70:30% wt (CH-PEO) were coated with a monolayer of hyaluronic acid (HA). This significantly improved the resistance to platelet adhesion and demonstrated excellent mechanical properties...
