The next-generation coronary artery stent by self-assembled coating: Self-assembled coatings in drug-eluting stents can bind biomaterials and offer several advantages over traditional coatings, including thinner structures, stronger binding capacity, and better biocompatibility. The encouraging achievements of self-assembled stent coatings include corrosion resistance, anti-fouling, anti-thrombogenicity, endothelialization, and targeted gene therapy. Future investigation and development of self-assembly in stent coatings will help improve the functionalities of self-assembled coatings in coronary artery stents and greatly extend their applications.
