“…1,2 In particular, polymer based coatings can serve as drug delivery platforms, releasing biomolecules (antibiotics, growth factors, proteins, peptides, genes) preloaded into the coating matrix, to convert conventional implants into biologically active components. 3,4 In comparison with conventional oral or injectable therapies usually associated with side effects, such coating systems should be able to release drug molecules locally and in a controlled manner for prolonged periods. 3,5 Local drug release provides the possibility of an efficient dosage at the defect site while avoiding undesired systemic effects.…”

“…Even though the amounts of drug incorporated are commonly very small, violation of sink conditions may occur since the media volumes are usually low as well and the drugs are typically very poorly soluble. As reported by Pan et al [63] it may be speculated that nearly constant drug release per sampling point may in some cases result from the applied sampling procedure in combination with the possible violation of sink conditions rather than from the controlled release of the drug substance. Due to the analytical limitations, media volumes of 1-15 ml are often used, the media is completely removed for analysis and fresh media is supplied at every sampling time [46,53,[59][60][61][62].…”

“…A stent is an expandable tubular device [1,2] able to scaffold the vessel and to maintain the perviety of the artery after balloon angioplasty [3,4], in order to restore the normal flow conditions [5] in arteries clogged up by the build-up of fatty substances [6].…”
