Abstract

In this paper we describe a combined in-vitro experimental and mathematical modelling approach to predict in-vivo drug-eluting stent kinetics. We coated stents with a mixture of sirolimus and a novel acrylic-based polymer in two different ratios. Our results indicate differential release kinetics between low and high drug dose formulations. Furthermore, mathematical model simulations of target receptor saturation suggest potential differences in efficacy.
