Persistent complications, including late stent thrombosis, delayed endothelialization, hypersensitivity, and restenosis, show that coatings actively shape biological responses rather than acting as inert drug carriers. Their surface chemistry, drug release kinetics, and degradation behavior are upstream determinants of blood\u2013 and tissue\u2013material responses that govern healing and failure. This review frames coating selection as a structure\u2013property\u2013biological response problem. It surveys the major classes of synthetic polymer coatings and the defining surface and bulk properties. This review also examines how composition and architecture control drug release, and traces the interfacial cascade of protein adsorption, coagulation and complement activation, platelet and leukocyte responses, and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. These mechanisms are linked to contemporary design strategies that improve hemocompatibility, limit thrombosis, promote endothelial recovery, and tune degradation, and to the standardization and translation gaps that remain. The central message is that polymer coatings are not biologically equivalent. Their surface chemistries and degradation profiles determine the thrombo-inflammatory outcomes. Therefore, coating design should be guided by intended biological response, not drug release alone.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym18121539","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,22]],"date-time":"2026-06-22T09:49:55Z","timestamp":1782121795000},"page":"1539","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Polymer-Based Coatings for Cardiovascular and Endovascular Devices: Linking Surface Chemistry, Drug Release Kinetics, and Thrombo-Inflammatory Performance: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1382-0262","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rasit","family":"Dinc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Invamed Medical Innovation Institute, One World Trade Centre, 85th Floor, 285 Fulton Street, New York, NY 10007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2726-7990","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nurittin","family":"Ardic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Med-International UK Health Agency Ltd., Warwickshire, Nuneaton CV11 6LT, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Scafa Udri\u0219te, A., Niculescu, A.G., Grumezescu, A.M., and B\u0103dil\u0103, E.
