Local Drug Delivery for Coronary Artery Disease - Established and Emerging Applications (Hardcover)

The two greatest problems associated with PTCA are abrupt or threatened vessel closure and restenosis, stents were initially thought to be the remedy. Unfortunately, this has not proven so: the material of which the stent is composed, along with stent-induced vascular injury, has led to thrombotic effects. Numerous pharmacological agents have been tested in order to reduce acute thrombosis and the hyperproliferative cellular response. Many of these work. Given that stents are used frequently in the catheter lab, it is no surprise that stents are being used for local drug delivery. Pioneers in the field, Camenzind and De Scheerder have assembled an excellent team of contributors to offer their experience of local drug delivery to the reader.
