Abstract:

The diffusion of drug through a stent is analyzed with a convection parameter and drug reaction parameter using diffusion equation in cylindrical coordinates. Effective drug delivery depends on the optimum design of the stent .Using cylindrical coordinates the results indicate more realistic conditions in drug delivery. Convection parameter and drug reaction parameter significantly influence drug diffusion. Hence by adjusting these parameters drug diffusion can be controlled.

Keywords: diffusion , convection parameter, reaction parameter.
