Polymer coatings on drug-eluting stents: Samson’s hair and Achilles’ heel?

TL;DR: Drug-eluting stents minimise the risk of in-stent restenosis by means of controlled, local delivery of antiproliferative drugs from a thin layer of coating applied to a rigid stent backbone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benchside testing of drug-eluting stent surface and geometry

TL;DR: Light is shed on benchside testing of DES that permits the identification, classification and quantification of various coating irregularities, both after gentle stent deployment and high-pressure postdilatation.
