Method of coating a stent with a release polymer for 40-O-(2-hydroxy)ethyl-rapamycin

A method of coating a stent is presented such that less than 50% of the total amount of 40-O-(2-hydroxyl)ethyl-rapamycin, or an analog or derivative thereof, is released in vivo in a 24 hour period, wherein the method comprises exposing the coating to sufficient temperature to modify the structure o...
