Abstract

(57)【要約】 ステントは含まれる活性薬剤を制御可能に放出するためのポリマー被覆を有する。ポリマー被覆は、単体である場合は薬剤を高速な第1の速度にて放出する第1のポリマー材料と、単体である場合は薬剤を長期間にわたって低速な第2の速度にて放出する第2のポリマー材料との混合物を含む。ステント被覆の一つは、高速放出親水性ポリマー材料と、低速放出疎水性材料とを使用する。ステント被覆の一つは、高速放出PLA−PEO共重合体と低速放出PLA−PCL共重合体との混合物を含む。活性薬剤の一つはタキソールである。タキソール送配ステントの一つの用途は、血管形成術後の再狭窄抑制を行うことである。
