1.2.7 Drug Delivery Systems

Drug delivery systems are being developed for vascular tissue
healing and tumor treatments. One of the approaches for this
purpose is the use of intravascular stents for releasing the drug in
a speciic location. The amounts of drug to be released from the
stent and their release time are controlled by alternating coatings
