GENE DELIVERY STENT USING A TITANIUM OXIDE THIN FILM COATING, AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a gene delivery stent using a titanium oxide thin film coating, and to a method for fabricating the gene delivery stent. The gene delivery stent is loaded with medication having anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic functions, and delivers a gene for inhibiting the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells. Accordingly, late thrombosis or metal allergy can be reduced, and vascular restenosis in the stent region can be prevented, thereby increasing the treatment effects of the gene delivery stent when inserted in a blood vessel.
