Drug-eluting polymer-coated coronary stents : an in vitro and in vivo evaluation of antirestenotic potential
Percutaneous intervention (PCI) is complicated by restenosis, stent thrombosis and delayed endothelial recovery at the PCI site. One approach to reduce these complications is to deliver potent agents directly to the PCI site. This local drug delivery can be achieved by absorbing drugs into a polymer...
