Combination x-ray radiation and drug delivery devices and methods for inhibiting hyperplasia
Abstract:
The present invention provides improved devices, methods, and kits for inhibiting restenosis and hyperplasia after intravascular intervention. In particular, the present invention provides controlled drug delivery in combination with x-ray radiation delivery to selected locations within a patient's vasculature to reduce and/or inhibit restenosis and hyperplasia rates with increased efficacy. In one embodiment, the combination radiation and agent delivery catheter for inhibiting hyperplasia comprises a catheter body having a proximal end and distal end, an x-ray tube coupleable to the catheter body for applying a radiation dose to a body lumen, and a porous material, matrix, membrane, barrier, coating, infusion lumen, stent, graft, or reservoir for releasing an agent to the body lumen.
