ABSTRACT
A new local intraluminal medicine-releasing system (ELUT-stent) to decrease in-stent restenosis Drug-loaded polymer-coated stents are hampered by the limited drug capacity and the too fast release of the drug from the coating. Furthermore, biocompatibility of the polymer coating remains an issue. The ELUT-stent (Precision Cutting Systems, Kalken, Belgium) tries to deal with these problems.
