Abstract

See full text

A unique method and coatings are provided to promote/allow early stage tissue encapsulation/endothelization of medical devices while effectively controlling excessive tissue buildup by eluting antiproliferative therapeutic agent within a body of a patient. The method involves using a therapeutic agent that suppresses excessive extracellular matrix proliferation and allows/promotes thin tissue healing/encapsulation/endothelization of the device. Optimized timing of onset of elution to match onset of excessive extracellular matrix proliferation for maximum effectiveness is achieved by delay barrier with biochemical switch.
