Abstract
A kit for preventing or treating arterial dysfunction resulting from an angioplasty procedure and particularly, in myocardial angioplasty procedures in human beings. The kit provides the materials necessary to introduce a selected amount of an intraarterial prostaglandin compound into an artery, such as a coronary artery, in which an angioplasty procedure is to occur and an intravenous prostaglandin compound. The prostaglandin compound will provide cyto-protection and provide antithrombotic effects and antiplatelet effects and antispasmatic effects. A composition is also provided for reducing dysfunction in angioplasty procedures and comprises a selected amount of a carrier and a prostaglandin compound carried in a specified amount and which carrier does not alter the prostaglandin compound and releases the prostaglandin compound at a rate sufficient to dilate blood vessels to thereby produce the required efficacy. The kit is a prepackaged combination of components which provides for the complete administration of the prostaglandin compound before, during and after the angioplasty procedure.
