Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and device for the treatment of an aneurysm are provided. Different therapeutic agents are delivered to the aneurysmal site by a reservoir and delivery means in a localized, and, in some embodiments, time-released regimen, to treat, limit and reduce the severity of the aneurysm.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An aneurismal tissue treatment system comprising: a stent graft adapted for placement within a vessel lumen adjacent an aneurismal site; and at least one implantable therapeutic agent delivery reservoir adapted to be implanted external to said vessel lumen and further adapted to deliver a carrier comprising at least one therapeutic agent from said reservoir to said aneurismal site over time wherein said reservoir comprises said carrier and said at least one therapeutic agent within said reservoir, wherein said implantable therapeutic agent delivery reservoir comprises a pump. 2. The aneurismal tissue treatment system according to claim 1 wherein said pump is mechanical, electrical, or osmotic. 3. An aneurismal tissue treatment system, comprising: a stent graft adapted for placement within a vessel lumen adjacent an aneurismal site; and at least one implantable therapeutic agent delivery reservoir adapted to be implanted external to said vessel lumen and further adapted to deliver a carrier comprising at least one therapeutic agent from said reservoir to said aneurismal site over time wherein said reservoir comprises said carrier and said at least one therapeutic agent within said reservoir, wherein said at least one implantable therapeutic agent delivery reservoir delivers said at least one therapeutic agent to said aneurismal tissue by means of a pump and tubing for the treatment of said aneurismal tissue.
