Novel endoprostheses comprising one or more photocurable materials are
disclosed. Said endoprostheses may comprise regions wherein said
photocurable materials are selectively disposed about said endoprosthesis
and are cured according to desired parameters to achieve varying desired
properties. Said properties may include but are not limited to
cross-linking density, material density, modulus of elasticity, rate of
erosion, extensibility, compressibility, mechanical strength, tensile
strength, crystallinity, diffusion coefficient, and permeability.
