Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for promoting cardiac tissue repair comprising administering to the cardiac tissue a therapeutically effective amount of an angiogenic thrombin derivative peptide and/or inhibiting or reducing vascular occlusion or restenosis. The invention also relates to methods of stimulating revascularization. In yet another embodiment, the invention relates to the use of thrombin derivative peptides in the manufacture of a medicament for the methods described herein.
Claims6
A method for promoting cardiac tissue repair in a patient, said method comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an angiogenic thrombin derivative peptide or a physiologically functional equivalent thereof.
A method of stimulating revascularization in a patient, said method comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an angiogenic thrombin derivative peptide or a physiologically functional equivalent thereof.
A method of stimulating vascular endothelial cell proliferation in a patient in need of such treatment, said method comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an angiogenic thrombin derivative peptide or a physiologically functional equivalent thereof.
A method of inhibiting restenosis in a patient following balloon angioplasty, said method comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an angiogenic thrombin derivative peptide or a physiologically functional equivalent thereof.
A stent coated with an angiogenic thrombin derivative peptide or a physiologically functional equivalent thereof.
A method of inhibiting vascular occlusion in a patient, said method comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a thrombin derivative peptide or a physiologically functional equivalent thereof.
