The present disclosure relates to drug eluting stents, methods of making, using, and verifying long-term stability of the drug eluting stents, and methods for predicting long term stent efficacy and patient safety after implantation of a drug eluting stent. In one embodiment, a drug eluting stent may include a stent framework; a drug-containing layer; a drug embedded in the drug-containing layer; and a biocompatible base layer disposed over the stent framework and supporting the drug-containing layer. The drug-containing layer may have an uneven coating thickness. In addition or in alternative, the drug-containing layer may be configured to significantly dissolve/dissipate/disappear between 45 days and 60 days after stent implantation. Stents of the present disclosure may reduce, minimize, or eliminate patient risks associated with the implantation of a stent, including, for example, restenosis, thrombosis, and/or MACE.
本公开涉及药物洗脱支架,制造、使用和验证药物洗脱支架长期稳定性的方法,以及预测植入药物洗脱支架后支架长期疗效和患者安全性的方法。在一个实施方案中,药物洗脱支架可包括支架框架;含药层;嵌入含药层的药物;以及设置在支架框架上并支撑含药层的生物相容性基底层。含药层的涂层厚度可以不均匀。此外,含药层可配置为在支架植入后 45 天至 60 天之间显著溶解/消散/消失。本公开的支架可降低、减少或消除与植入支架相关的患者风险,例如包括再狭窄、血栓形成和/或MACE。
