“…The profiles of prepared DES need to be further confirmed in vivo, even though some researchers have suggested that sirolimus metabolism in vitro is similar to that in vivo [23] Drug release process in vitro may be actually different from that in vivo due to changes in environment and acid-base metabolism [23,24].…”

“…To further test our coatings surfaces, field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was used to detect the surface micro morphology (see fig. 3) and bulk chemical composition [33]. We can observe micro and nano-structures: the first are "cauliflower-like" and their average dimensions vary accordingly to the area tested (from 20 to 60 nm inside and from 50 to 120 nm outside), while the latter appear to be constant (around 6 nm) independently from side and zone.…”

“…As PLGA undergoes bulk erosion, the coating experiences mass loss while the integral structure is maintained. The coating structure has been reported to maintain integrity during the entire degradation period, until much later time after complete elution of the loaded drug [10]. Therefore, the coating domain can be considered as intact for the time span of interest.…”

“…Among the vari ous research directions, the utilization of biodegradable polymer coatings in place of the biodurable coatings has been proposed [8,9]. In particular, biocompatible PLGA, and allows tunable drug release rates based on different polymer molecular weights, has received a high amount of interest in ongoing drug-eluting stents research [10][11][12][13][14], While most studies were carried out for exami nation of release under in vitro conditions, further evaluation of PLGA stent coating for in vivo evaluations of implanted stents are necessary and are typically significantly more costly.…”
