The release of a substance in a living tissue for therapeutic purposes is becoming quite common in medicine nowadays, through drug delivery devices. The mechanism of release is quite complex and depends on many concurrent physical and biochemical factors. A recent clinical application of such technology are the drug-eluting stents: these are complex medical devices inserted in the arterial wall aimed to widen the lumen of stenosed arteries and to restore the blood flow after occlusion.

Abstract

The release of a substance in a living tissue for therapeutic purposes is becoming quite common in medicine nowadays, through drug delivery devices. The mechanism of release is quite complex and depends on many concurrent physical and biochemical factors. A recent clinical application of such technology are the drug-eluting stents: these are complex medical devices inserted in the arterial wall aimed to widen the lumen of stenosed arteries and to restore the blood flow after occlusion.
