SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF ANEURYSMS USING ZINC CHELATOR(S)

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods and stent graft configurations related to the treatment of aneurysms through the local administration of zinc chelator(s). The zinc chelator(s) can be locally administered by placing one or more of them directly onto a stent graft, incorporating them into a coating found on a stent graft, including them in a delivery device that is associated with a stent graft, and/or injecting them through delivery and/or injection catheters at or near the time of stent graft deployment.
