Model Reduction Strategies Enable Computational Analysis of Controlled Drug Release from Cardiovascular Stents

Medicated cardiovascular stents, also called drug eluting stents (DES), represent a relevant application of controlled drug release mechanisms. Modeling of drug release from DES also represents a challenging problem for theoretical and computational analysis. In particular, the study of drug release involves models with singular behavior, arising, for instance, in the analysis of drug release in the small diffusion regime. Moreover, the...
