    Abstract: A device and method for providing radiation to selected radial portions of a segment of the interior wall of a body lumen. In a preferred embodiment, an intravascular catheter is positioned within a desired blood vessel adjacent to a lesion. A radioactive fluid is then injected into the catheter, and the catheter directs the radioactive fluid about the central axis of the vessel in the area of the lesion. This allows selected radial portions of a vessel to have a higher radiation exposure than other portions, which is particularly useful when a lesion does not uniformly extend around the entire circumference of a vessel.

    Abstract: The invention features a catheter and methods for delivering drug to tissue at a desired location of the wall of a body lumen. The catheter is constructed for insertion in a body lumen and has a catheter shaft and an expandable portion mounted on the catheter shaft. The expandable portion is expandable to a controlled pressure to fill the cross-section of the body lumen and press against the wall of the body lumen. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the exterior surface of the expandable portion is defined by a coating of a tenaciously adhered swellable hydrogel polymer. Incorporated in the hydrogel polymer is an aqueous solution of a preselected drug to be delivered to the tissue or plaque. The hydrogel polymer and drug are selected to allow rapid release of a desired dosage of the drug from the hydrogel polymer coating during compression of the hydrogel polymer coating against the wall of the lumen when the expandable portion is expanded. In other embodiments the polymer is released from the expandable portion in response to pressure, to coat the wall of the body lumen.

    Abstract: A balloon for a medical device has a structural layer of a highly crystallized PEN polymer material. The PEN polymer material being a polyethylene naphthalate homopolymer or a crystallizable copolyester made up of residues of ethylene glycol, naphthalene dicarboxylic acid (NDC) and at least one member of the group (PA) consisting of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid. The NDC groups make up about 5% or more of the sum of NDC and PA groups in the copolymer. The balloon is characterized by an ability to withstand a hoop stress of at least 35,000 psi without bursting.

    Abstract: An expansible balloon catheter has at least a first exterior surface with a given coefficient of friction and a second exterior surface with a greater coefficient of friction. In a compact form only the first exterior surface is exposed to produce a low coefficient of friction during transfer of the collapsed or uninflated balloon to and across a lesion. When inflated, the second surface dominates the first surface and produces an increased coefficient of friction overall thereby to stabilize the balloon in the lesion.

    Abstract: Disclosed are implantable or insertable medical devices that provide resistance to microbial growth on and in the environment of the device and resistance to microbial adhesion and biofilm formation on the device. In particular, the invention discloses implantable or insertable medical devices that comprise at least one biocompatible matrix polymer region, an antimicrobial agent for providing resistance to microbial growth and a microbial adhesion/biofilm synthesis inhibitor for inhibiting the attachment of microbes and the synthesis and accumulation of biofilm on the surface of the medical device. Also disclosed are methods of manufacturing such devices under conditions that substantially prevent preferential partitioning of any of said bioactive agents to a surface of the biocompatible matrix polymer and substantially prevent chemical modification of said bioactive agents.
