METHODS AND DEVICES FOR REDUCING TISSUE DAMAGE AFTER ISCHEMIC INJURY

摘要

Methods and devices are provided for the local delivery of anti-ischemic agents which reduce myocardial tissue damage due to ischemia or reperfusion, in combination with compounds that sensitize the response of the tissue to the anti-ischemic agent. The therapeutic agents are delivered to the myocardial tissue over an administration period sufficient to achieve reduction in ischemic or reperfusion injury of the tissue.
