Journal ArticleDOI
Bioactive coatings of endovascular stents based on polyelectrolyte multilayers.
TL;DR: The enhanced thromboresistance of the self-assembled multilayer together with the antiinflammatory and wound healing properties of hyaluronan and chitosan are expected to reduce the neointimal hyperplasia associated with stent implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delivery platform for hydrophobic drugs: prodrug approach combined with self-assembled multilayers.

TL;DR: It is shown that the presence of the hydrophobic paclitaxel moieties does not prohibit the layer-by-layer construction of the multilayers and application of this delivery platform to substrates such as colloids, biomedical implants, or vascular tissues may lead to new therapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocoatings onto arteries via layer-by-layer deposition: toward the in vivo repair of damaged blood vessels.
TL;DR: The deposition of polysaccharide-based self-assembled nanocoatings onto damaged arteries is described as a means not only to protect a damaged artery against thrombogenesis, but also to control the healing processes by incorporating biologically active components within the multilayer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomimetic hemocompatible coatings through immobilization of hyaluronan derivatives on metal surfaces.
TL;DR: This work reports an innovative approach toward biomimetic surfaces based on the covalent immobilization of a carboxylate terminated PEGylated hyaluronan (HA-PEG) onto plasma functionalized NiTi alloy surfaces.
