Abstract
A method for fabricating an embodiment of a medical device comprising the steps of: preparing a biodegradable polymeric structure; coating the biodegradable polymeric structure with a polymeric coat including a pharmacological or biological agent; cutting the structure into patterns configured to allow for crimping of the cut structure and expansion of the cut structure after crimping into a deployed configuration.

1-20. (canceled)
A method for making a polymeric scaffold comprising the steps of:
- blending a polymer composition comprising a crystallizable polymer composition comprising poly L-lactide, and/or poly D-lactide, wherein the molecular weight (M.W.) of the polymer ranges from about 1.5 to about 3.5 IV;
- molding or extruding the polymer composition to produce a scaffold;
- and
- coating the scaffold with a pharmaceutical composition comprising a ligand,
- wherein the polymer composition is crystallizable when the scaffold is expanded.
