Abstract
The present invention provides intravascular prostheses and methods of production and use. An implantable device for treating a vascular disease or disorder includes an intravascular prosthesis containing an inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation and a growth factor. The device can be coated with a biodegradable drug-eluting polymer that is impregnated with the inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation and the growth factor. The device is useful for treating or preventing a vascular disease or disorder such as restenosis, by simultaneously inhibiting vessel blockage and enhancing recovery of the vessel wall following an intravascular intervention.
