“…As the polymer coating also acts as the eluting drug’s reservoir, it must be non-thrombogenic, non-inflammatory, non-toxic to cells, and should encourage arterial healing by re-endothelialization [ 12 , 19 , 21 , 23 , 63 ]. In this respect, the adequate features of phosphorylcholine, polylactic acid, poly(vinylidencefluoride-co-hexafluoropropenen), and polyvinylpyrrolidone have attracted interest for stent coatings, mitigating inflammation and thrombosis risk [ 6 , 24 , 64 ]. Furthermore, there are many available techniques for fabricating polymer-coating stents that can be chosen from (e.g., dip-coating, electrospinning, spray coating, hot melt coating), depending upon the constitutional complexity of the stent platforms and their uncharacterized properties as medical devices [ 20 , 65 , 66 , 67 ].…”
