摘要:
Compositions comprising anti-fibrotic agent(s) and/or polymeric compositions can be used in various medical applications including the prevention of surgical adhesions, treatment of inflammatory arthritis, treatment of scars and keloids, the treatment of vascular disease, and the prevention of cartilage loss.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are therapeutic devices, compositions and methods for treating proliferative diseases. For example, within one aspect of the invention therapeutic devices are provided, comprising a device that locally administers radiation and a cell-cycle inhibitor
摘要:
Sutures are used in combination with fibrosing agents to induce or stimulate fibrosis that between the sutures and the host tissues into which the sutures are inserted. Compositions and methods are described for use in lifting tissue, closing wound, and other applications.
摘要:
Implants are used in combination with an anti-scarring agent in order to inhibit scarring that may otherwise occur when the implant is placed within an animal. The agent may be any suitable anti-scarring agent, e.g., a cell cycle inhibitor, and may be used in conjunction with a second pharmaceutical agent, e.g., an antibiotic. Suitable implants include intravascular implants, a vascular graft or wrap implant, an implant for hemodialysis access, an implant that provides an anastomotic connection, ventricular assist implant, a prosthetic heart valve implant, an inferior vena cava filter implant, a peritoneal dialysis catheter implant, a central nervous system shunt, an intraocular lens, an implant for glaucoma drainage, a penile implant, an endotracheal tube, a tracheostomy tube, a gastrointestinal device, and a spinal implant.
摘要:
Intravascular devices (e.g., stents, stent grafts, covered stents, aneurysm coils, embolic agents and drug delivery catheters and balloons) are used in combination with fibrosing agents in order to induce fibrosis that may otherwise not occur when the implant is placed within an animal or to promote fibrosis betweent the devices and the host tissues. Compositions and methods are described for use in the treatment of aneurysms and unstable arterial (vulnerable) plaque.
摘要:
Implants are used in combination with a fibrosis-inducing agent in order to induce fibrosis that may otherwise not occur when the implant is placed within an animal or increase fibrosis between the implant and the host tissue.
