PC, phosphorylcholine; PGLA, polyglycolic/lactic acid; PEO, polyethyleneoxide; POP/MPD, polyorganophosphazene/methylpredisnolone; CEL/HEP/MET, cellulose/heparin/methotrexate; HMWPLLA/DEX, high molecular weight poly-L lactic acid/dexamethasone; CMV, cytomegalovirus.
5-150 Representative values for the best and worst performing polymers are given;
↵5-151 range;
↵5-152 values calculated from fig 6 in Lincoffet al 23;
↵5-153 for comparative purposes, the thickness of the wire struts have been deducted from the data.
