Intravascular delivery of mycophenolic acid

   
   

The present invention provides improved devices and methods for minimizing and/or inhibiting restenosis and hyperplasia after intravascular intervention. In particular, the present invention provides luminal prostheses which allow for programmed and controlled mycophenolic acid delivery with increased efficacy to selected locations within a patient's vasculature to inhibit restenosis. An intraluminal delivery prosthesis may comprise an expansible structure and means on or within the structure for releasing mycophenolic acid at a rate selected to inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation.

A invenção atual fornece dispositivos e métodos minimizando e/ou inibindo o restenosis e hiperplasia melhorados após a intervenção intravenosa. No detalhe, a invenção atual fornece os prostheses do luminal que permitem a entrega ácida mycophenolic programada e controlada com efficacy aumentado às posições selecionadas dentro do vasculature de um paciente para inibir o restenosis. Um prosthesis intraluminal da entrega pode compreender uma estrutura expansible e meios ou dentro da estrutura para liberar o ácido mycophenolic em uma taxa selecionada para inibir o proliferation liso da pilha do músculo.
