1. A method of applying a collagen coating on a stent having a metal surface, comprising the steps of:immersing the stent in an aqueous electrolyte solution including collagen, an electrical potential being established between the anode and cathode adequate to sustain electrodeposition of the collagen from the solution onto the metal surface of the stent coating the metal surface with collagen by electrodeposition, the stent functioning as a cathode in an anode/cathode pair; and placing a tubular material about the stent or within the stent.
