A stent is provided with a drug-eluting layer disposed on at least a portion of its surface, wherein the drug-eluting layer comprises an endosome-disrupting agent and a pharmaceutical agent. In an embodiment, the endosome-disrupting agent, when taken up through endocytosis into living cells, causes lysis of endosomes containing the endosome-disrupting agent. The pharmaceutical agent can accompany the endosome-disrupting agent into the living cells.
