摘要:
This review focuses on the pharmaceutical aspects of the development of drug eluting stents. It discusses the different processes that can be used to obtain a controlled release of a drug from the stent as well as the coatings therefore applied. Results obtained for stents already available on the market or in a far stage of development are discussed. In a final part possible future research areas as well as expected new evolutions in the design of drug eluting stents are presented.
