Plaque accumulation in the walls of coronary arteries reduces the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the myocardium. This luminal narrowing can cause clinical indications such as angina or heart attacks, and without treatment, can be fatal. One method of treatment is the percutaneous intervention of stents to re-canalize the vessel. A potential complication of stent implantation is arterial wall remodeling and renarrowing of the vessel; termed restenosis. This can be prevented in the majority of patients with an antiproliferative drug coating on the surface of the stent: a drug-eluting stent. I hypothesize that drug transport in the arterial wall from these devices varies between arterial locations (left anterior descending (LADC) versus r...
