RT Journal Article ID 00a003820045a16e A1 Chorny, Michael A1 Fishbein, Ilia A1 Golomb, Gershon T1 Drug Delivery Systems for the Treatment of Restenosis JF Critical Reviews™ in Therapeutic Drug Carrier Systems JO CRT YR 2000 FD 2000-06-01 VO 17 IS 3 OP 36 AB Attempts to achieve revascularization of coronary arteries blocked by atherosclerotic plaques are hampered by restenotic hyperproliferative response of die treated vessels. The uniform failure of clinical trials using systemic therapies to prevent restenosis has prompted development of methods for arterial drug delivery systems. This review describes technologies of polymeric-based, perivascular, and intraluminal drug and gene delivery systems. The critical assessment of controversies including drug and vehicle type, dose and release rate, and preclinical validation is reviewed.
