A polymer of fluorinated monomers and hydrophilic monomers is provided. It
is also provided a polymer blend that contains a polymer of fluorinated
monomers and another biocompatible polymer. The polymer of fluorinated
monomers or polymer blend described herein and optionally a bioactive
agent can form a coating on an implantable device such as a drug-delivery
stent. The implantable device can be used for treating or preventing a
disorder such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, hemorrhage,
vascular dissection or perforation, vascular aneurysm, vulnerable plaque,
chronic total occlusion, patent foramen ovale, claudication, anastomotic
proliferation for vein and artificial grafts, bile duct obstruction,
ureter obstruction, tumor obstruction, or combinations thereof.
