Abstract
A method for producing an agent depot for mechanical connection to a surface of an endovascular implantable body, comprising a) providing one or more polymers; b) providing one or more agents; and c) producing an agent depot from said polymers and said agents, the agent depot being mechanically connectable to the surface of the body using force action or adhesive.
Claims18
A method for producing an agent depot for mechanical connection to a surface of an endovascular implantable body, comprising:
- a) providing one or more polymers;
- b) providing one or more agents;
- and
- c) producing an agent depot from said polymers and said agents, the agent depot being mechanically connectable to the surface of the body using either force action or adhesive.
A method for producing an agent-charged endovascular implantable body, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing an endovascular implantable body;
- b) providing one or more different agent depots which are produced by
- (i) providing one or more polymers;
- (ii) providing one or more agents;
- and
- (iii) producing an agent depot from the polymers and the agents, the agent depot is mechanically connectable to the surface of the body using either force action or adhesive;
- and
- c) mechanically connecting one of said agent depots to said body.
An agent-charged, endovascular implantable body, said body produced according to a method, comprising:
- a) providing an endovascular implantable body;
- b) providing one or more different agent depots produced by
- (i) providing one or more polymers;
- (ii) providing one or more agents, and
- (iii) producing an agent depot from the polymers and the agents, the agent depot is mechanically connectable to the surface of the body using either force action or adhesive;
- and
- c) mechanically connecting one of said agent depots to said body.
A kit, comprising:
- a) one or more agent depots, said agent depots produced by providing one or more polymers, providing one or more agents, and producing an agent depot from the polymers and the agents, the agent depot being implemented in such a manner that the agent depot is mechanically connectable to the surface of the body using either force action or adhesive;
- and
- b) one or more endovascular implantable bodies.
A method for producing an agent-charged, endovascular implantable body for prophylaxis or treatment of a stenosis, an aneurysm, or a tumor tissue in a human or animal body, the agent depots being produced by providing one or more polymers, providing one or more agents, and producing an agent depot from the polymers and the agents, the agent depot being implemented in such a manner that the agent depot is mechanically connectable to the surface of the body using either force action or adhesive.
A method for prophylaxis or treatment of a stenosis, an aneurysm, or a tumor tissue of a human or animal body, comprising:
- a) providing an endovascular implantable body;
- b) providing one or more different agent depots, produced by a method comprising:
- (i) providing one or more polymers,
- (ii) providing one or more agents, and
- (iii) producing an agent depot from the polymers and the agents, the agent depot being implemented in such a manner that the agent depot is mechanically connectable to the surface of the body using either force action or adhesive;
- c) mechanically connecting one of said agent depots to said body;
- and
- d) implanting the agent-charged body produced in step c) in a blood vessel which carries blood to the tumor tissue.
