Common polymers used in DES.

Polymer DES Coating Features Ref.
Polylactic acid Effective in short and mid-term follow-ups [190,212,213,214]
Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) Feasible, safe, and effective implantation [190]
Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) Slow releasing capability for hydrophobic drugs [190]
Hyaluronic acid Good degradation efficiency, enhances the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells [190,215,216,217]
Polyzene-F Highly biocompatible, anti-inflammatory, bacteria-resistant and pro-healing [190]
