A method for surgically restoring a coronary artery having an atheroma, to more normal structure by making an arteriotomy incision over the length of the atheroma, extracting plaque, inserting stent into the coronary artery at the incision and closing the coronary artery over the stent with sutures. An extravascular drug delivery material is applied over the stent implantation site to inhibit thrombosis and smooth muscle cell proliferation.
