## Abstract Biodegradable polymeric coatings on cardiovascular stents can be used for local delivery of therapeutic agents to diseased coronary arteries after stenting procedures. This can minimize the occurrence of clinically adverse events such as restenosis after stent implantation. A validated
Phosphorylcholine-functionalized poly-epsilon-caprolactone (PC-PCL) is a new biodegradable polymer with good biocompatibility. In this study modulation of the controlled release of Ibuprofen (IB), a model drug, from poly-epsilon-caprolactone (PCL) by direct blending with PC-PCL is investigated. The
