Abstract:
A method of coating an intravascular stent comprising the steps of:providing an intravascular stent;activiating the intravascular stent;applying a polymer to the intravascular stent to form a polymer layer on the intravascular stent;applying a tresylation solution to the intravascular stent, wherein the tresylation solution comprises pyridine and tresyl chloride;applying an adhesion peptide coating for adhering cells to the intravascular stent, wherein the adhesion peptide coating is a peptide consisting of five amino acid peptide having the sequence glycine-arginine-glutamic acid-aspartic acid-valine; andwherein the intravascular stent is activated by using plasma glow discharge.
