A nano-inspired multifunctional POSS-PCU covered stent : endothelial progenitor cell capture with stealth liposomal drug release
The 2 main unresolved issues inherent in coronary stents are in-stent restenosis (ISR) and late stent thrombosis (ST). ISR is largely due to vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation, and ST is attributed to a lack of re-endothelialization. This thesis describes the conceptualization and deve...
