(57) [Problem] To provide a method for coating a stent in which a bridge is not formed in a passage. A method of coating a stent having first and second surfaces and a passageway therebetween, avoiding blocks and bridges in the passageway. This method The stent 2 is contacted with a liquid coating solution containing a film-forming biocompatible polymer under conditions that allow the film-forming biocompatible polymer to coat at least one surface of the stent 2, wherein the fluid passing through the passage is The flow is maintained to substantially prevent the film-forming biocompatible polymer from blocking the passage. A stent coated by this method is also shown. |
