    摘要: A method for decreasing the level of restenosis following a stent placement medical intervention involves the continuous administration of a dose of an anti-restenotic agent, such as paclitaxel, from the stent to vascular tissue in need of treatment in a controlled, extended, and substantially linear drug release profile. The method of substantially linear extended release increases the therapeutic effectiveness of administration of a given dosage. In one example, a method of reducing restenosis includes delivering paclitaxel from a stent to an artery at a minimum release rate of 1 percent of the total dosage of paclitaxel on the stent per day throughout an entire administration period from the time of implantation of the stent until the time that substantially all the paclitaxel is released from the stent.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for the local delivery of therapeutic agents reduces myocardial tissue damage due to ischemia. A local delivery device is used for delivery of the therapeutic agents into a coronary artery which feeds the ischemic myocardial tissue. According to one example, an implantable medical device for delivering insulin locally to myocardial tissue includes a therapeutic dosage of insulin in a biocompatible polymer affixed to a stent. The therapeutic dosage of insulin is released from the stent at a therapeutic dosage and over an administration period effective to reduce ischemic injury of the myocardial tissue.

    摘要: A bifurcation stent includes a first end which is deformable or crushable at a lower force than a second end. The crushable first end and more rigid second end of the bifurcation stent allow one end of the stent to remain expanded in tissue supporting configuration in a side branch of a vessel bifurcation while the other end is easily crushed against the side wall of the main vessel into which it extends. A method of supporting a bifurcated body lumen with the bifurcation stent involves delivering the bifurcation stent in an unexpanded configuration to a bifurcation in a body lumen, positioning the bifurcation stent with the distal portion substantially within a side branch vessel of the bifurcation and the proximal crushable portion substantially within the main vessel, expanding the bifurcation stent, and expanding a main vessel stent along side the bifurcation stent and thereby crushing at least a portion of the crushable proximal portion of the bifurcation stent against the main vessel wall.

    摘要: A method for decreasing the level of restenosis following a stent placement medical intervention involves the continuous administration of a dose of an immunosuppressant or anti-inflammatory agent from reservoirs in a stent to vascular tissue in need of treatment in a controlled, two phase drug release profile. It is envisioned that the vascular tissue in need of treatment is arterial tissue, specifically coronary arterial tissue. The agent or drug can be the calcineurin inhibitor Pimecrolimus. The drug can be held within reservoirs in the stent in a drug delivery matrix comprised of the drug and a bioresorbable polymeric material and optionally additives to regulate the drug release.

    摘要: A multi solvent drug delivery matrix formation method is used to place layers into a reservoir in a stent in a stepwise manner to achieve extended delivery of water soluble, sensitive, or difficult to deliver drugs. The multi solvent matrix formation method allows the formation of a drug reservoir with a layered morphology in which the mixing between layers is limited to allow the different layers to perform different functions in controlling drug delivery. A stent having a drug delivery matrix includes a first beneficial agent layer affixed to the stent by depositing a first solution of a first polymer and a first solvent, and a second beneficial agent layer affixed to the first beneficial agent layer by depositing a second solution of a second polymer and a second solvent. The second solvent is selected so that the first polymer is substantially insoluble in the second solvent to prevent degradation of the first polymer during deposition of the second polymer. A therapeutic agent is provided in the first beneficial agent layer or the second beneficial agent layer to form a drug delivery matrix.

    摘要: A method for reducing the level of restenosis following a stent placement medical intervention involves the continuous administration of a dose of an anti-restenotic agent, such as paclitaxel, from the stent to vascular tissue in need of treatment in a controlled and extended drug release profile for a period of at least 60 days in vivo. The in vivo release profile is determined by in vivo animal experiments involving implanting a series of stents in animals, explanting the stents from the animals at selected time points, and extracting remaining drug from the explanted stents.
