The present invention provides compositions and methods for an improved coating for medical devices. Provided is a biofunctional coating composition comprising at least one binding domain that has binding specificity for a metallic surface material of a medical device, and at least one binding domain that has binding specificity for cells of endothelial cell lineage. Methods for coating a metallic surface of a medical device, and for manufacturing of a medical device, comprise contacting the metallic surface to be coated with the biofunctional coating material in an amount effective to form a coating, and may further comprise contacting the coated surface with cells of endothelial cell lineage to bind the cells of endothelial cell lineage to the coated surface.
