Abstract
Methods of reducing crimping damage to polymer and drug coating on a scaffold are disclosed. The methods include physically aging a coating including a coating polymer and drug mixture on a scaffold in a manner that takes into account the differing kinetics of aging, that is, the different temperature dependence of the aging rate of the polymer and drug.
