Abstract

Drug-eluting rotational spun coatings that include one or more therapeutic agents may be used to coat a medical device. The medical devices include, for example, balloon catheters, vascular grafts and stents, which are coated with drug-eluting rotational spun materials that may be used to deliver a therapeutic agent to a target tissue or body lumen.
