## Abstract The timeโdependent local drug delivery from drugโeluting stents (DES) plays a critical role in reducing restenosis in intravascular stenting. To better understand the basic mechanism of drug release for certain polymerโdrugโcoated DES platforms, a cylindrical diffusion model was applied
## Abstract Drugโeluting stents have proven superior to bare metal stents with lower restenosis rates. Local delivery of drugs from these stents is achieved in most cases with the help of biostable polymer coatings. However, since the polymer coating remains in the body well after all the drug is r
## Abstract A twoโlayer dissolutionโdiffusion model is derived which incorporates a surface burst component that is estimated from continuum percolation models of overlapping Poisson distributed spheres. The model is shown to adequately describe the release properties of paclitaxel from a hydrophob
