Abstract

See full text

Methods and devices are provided for the delivery of therapeutic agents which reduce myocardial tissue damage due to ischemia and anti-restenotic agents which inhibit restenosis following a cardiac procedure such as stent implantation. The anti-ischemia agents are delivered to the myocardial tissue over an administration period sufficient to achieve reduction in ischemic or reperfusion injury of the myocardial tissue. The anti-restenotic agents are delivered over an administration period sufficient to reduce the re-narrowing of a blood vessel following a cardiac procedure such as implantation of a device. Preferred anti-restenotic drugs are those that do not reduce the beneficial effects provided by the anti-ischemic drug, such as drugs that do not act on the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR).
