Modeling of degradation and drug release from a biodegradable stent coating.

TL;DR: A simultaneous transport-reaction model predicting the degradation and release of the drug Everolimus from a polylactic acid (PLA) based stent coating is presented and can be used as a tool for predicting drug delivery from other coating configurations designed using the same polymer-drug combination.
