Modeling and Analysis of Drug-Eluting Stents With Biodegradable PLGA Coating: Consequences on Intravascular Drug Delivery

Increasing interests have been raised toward the potential applications of biodegradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) coatings for drug-eluting stents in order to improve the drug delivery and reduce adverse outcomes in stented arteries in patients. This article presents a mathematical model...
