Abstract:
A method for making an implantable medical device for in vivo delivery of bioactive active agents to a situs in a body. The implantable structural element may be configured as an implantable prosthesis, such as an endoluminal stent, cardiac valve, osteal implant or the like, which serves a dual function of being prosthetic and a carrier for a bioactive agent. Alternatively, the implantable structural element may simply be an implantable article that serves the single function of acting as a time-release carrier for the bioactive agent.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of forming one or more holes in the structural material comprises one of the methods of formation selected from the group consisting of microdrilling, laser cutting, etching, and EDM.
