title: [Development of drug coating on drug eluting stents].
abstract: Researches on drug-eluting stents are now focusing on three main aspects: the stent materials, the coating matrix material and the selection, adhesion and controlled release of the biological agents. The current development progresses of the coating materials, their characteristics, and the coating method for metallic stents are reviewed in this paper.
