The invention relates to a preparation for restenosis prevention. The
preparations for restenosis prevention known as yet do not reach
sufficient active agent concentrations in the affected sections of the
vascular walls as higher doses cause undesirable side effects. The
present invention is a preparation to which at least one antihyperplastic
agent is added that has a distribution ratio between butanol and water
.gtoreq.0.5. The lipophilic active agent is absorbed by the vascular wall
fast and in sufficient quantity. The preparation may be a liquid that can
pass through capillaries and may contain a contrast agent so that the
active agent is transferred into the vascular wall without any additional
effort while the usually required contrast radiograms are taken. The
preparation may also be applied to a catheter.
