Abstract

In this paper we consider a mechanistic 1D dissolution-diffusion model for drug release from a drugeluting stent coupled with absorption in the arterial wall. Within the drug coating layer of the stent, we propose a general model of diffusion-dissolution, which encompasses several existing approaches in the literature. Importantly, the drug dynamics depend on the coupling of drug release with tissue absorption, and so we additionally model the saturable drug binding within the tissue layer, supported by appropriate coupling conditions. We demonstrate that the coupled 1D model is capable of predicting important characteristics such as the correct duration of drug release reported in existing in-vivo studies.
