Abstract
Pro-healing agent formulation compositions, methods and treatments for enhancing vascular healing are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a pro-healing agent is encapsulated, suspended, disposed within or loaded into a biodegradable carrier for sustained-release delivery to a denuded or damaged endothelium treatment area in a blood vessel. In some applications, the pro-healing agent can accelerate re-endothelialization of a denuded vascular region. In some applications, the pro-healing agent can assist in the regaining of endothelium functionality. The formulation can be delivered by a delivery assembly such as an infusion catheter, a porous balloon catheter, a needle injection catheter, a double balloon catheter or the like.
