Drug-eluting stents have revolutionised the treatment of coronary artery disease. These
small medical devices have attracted much interest over the past decade from biologists …

In the last two decades, numerical models have become well-recognized and widely
adopted tools to investigate stenting procedures. Due to limited computational resources …

The Handbook of Membrane Separations: Chemical, Pharmaceutical, and Biotechnological
Applications provides detailed information on membrane separation technologies as they …

Combination therapy provides an efficient way to overcome the potential multidrug
resistance and enhance anticancer efficacy. In this work, a biodegradable pH-responsive …

An analytical solution for solving the transient drug diffusion in adjoining porous wall layers
faced with a drug-eluting stent is presented. The endothelium, intima, internal elastic lamina …

In this paper, starting from a consistent mathematical model, a novel computational
approach is proposed for assessing some biomechanical effects on drug release from …

The attention of this review is focussed on the mathematical modeling of the simultaneous
processes of drug release and absorption/distribution/metabolism/elimination (ADME …

A mathematical model of a drug-eluting stent is proposed. The model considers a polymer
region, containing the drug initially, and a porous region, consisting of smooth muscle cells …

The treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions represents a challenge for the interventional
cardiologists due to the lower rate of procedural success and the higher risk of restenosis …

In-stent restenosis occurs in coronary arteries after implantation of drug-eluting stents with
non-uniform restenosis thickness distribution in the artery cross section. Knowledge of the …
