Abstract
A material in a flowable state is applied to the interstitial pores of a radially-expandable endovascular tubular braid structure to modify the tubular braid structure for use in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. The material is cured to form a membrane at least within the coated interstitial pores. A cardiovascular device, for use in a vascular lumen within a body for treatment of cardiovascular disease, includes a braided body with electroporation means for helping prevent restenosis in a cardiovascular lumen. A method for treating cardiovascular disease includes placing a radially expandable and collapsible medical device within a cardiovascular passageway, positioning it at a target site, and placing it in a radially expanded state. Restenosis at the target site is inhibited by a chosen one of electroporation and iontophoresis. The medical device is collapsed and is then removed from the passageway.
