Agenda (preliminary)
(Optional session) Wednesday June 9, 2010 |

| 1:00-5:30 | FDA Microstructure Modeling Session Dinesh Patwardhan and David Saylor The goal of this session is to introduce participants to microstructure-based models and their potential application in cardiovascular devices. This session was motivated by expressed interest in diffuse-interface models developed at the FDA for microstructure formation during the fabrication of controlled drug release coatings and the impact of that microstructure on the subsequent release response with specific emphasis on drug-eluting stents. Thus, the primary focus will be on these types of models for microstructure evolution. We plan to hold a series of invited lectures covering topics that include: the fundamental theory behind diffuse-interface models, numerical approaches and software to solve systems of equations based on the underlying theory, the specific models developed at the FDA, and potential extensions and applications of these models. We will close out the symposium with discussion aimed at getting feedback from participants. We would like to assess 1) the perceived utility of the models developed at the FDA, 2) optimum ways those interested could implement the model, and 3) whether there are other cardiovascular device areas where this type of approach would be beneficial. |
