摘要:
This invention is directed to a method of treating a vascular disease involving administration to a patient by means of an angioplasty balloon a composition comprising a permeability-enhancing substance and a therapeutic agent.
摘要:
Segmented scaffolds composed of disconnected scaffold segments with overlapping end rings are disclosed. Scaffolds with at least one discontinuous link are also disclosed.
摘要:
A method including introducing a treatment agent at a treatment site within a mammalian host; and introducing a bioerodable gel material at the treatment site. An apparatus including a first annular member having a first lumen disposed about a length of the first annular member and a first entry port at a proximal end of the first annular member, and a second annular member coupled to the first annular member having a second lumen disposed about a length of the second annular member and a second entry port at a proximal end of the second annular member, wherein the first annular member and the second annular member are positioned to allow a combining of treatment agents introduced through each annular member at the treatment site.
摘要:
Stent scaffolds that include a polymeric structure or structures bonded to the scaffold and extending along their length are disclosed. The polymeric structure extends across some or all of the gaps in struts along the length of the scaffold. Segmented scaffolds are also disclosed that include two or more axial segments arranged end to end not connected by link struts.
