Treatment of coronary artery lesions with a scaffold having vessel scaffold interactions that reduce or prevent angina

摘要

Methods of treating coronary artery disease (CAD) with bioresorbable stents resulting in reduced angina or non-ischemic chest pain are described. Methods of treatment and devices for treatment of angina and post-procedural chest pain that include anti-angina agents incorporated into the device are disclosed.

1. A method of treating coronary artery disease (CAD) in a patient in need thereof comprising:
selecting a patient in need of treatment of CAD having a lesion in a blood vessel that is an indicator of high risk or a susceptibility of the patient to angina or non-ischemic thoracic chest pain; and implanting a bioresorbable stent at the lesion in a blood vessel of the patient, wherein the implanted scaffold treats the CAD.
