ENCAPSULATED OR COATED STENT SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention comprises a stent system comprising one or more stents coated and/or encapsulated by a protein-based material of a protein matrix and/or a set biocoacervate. In various embodiments, the stent system includes one or more inner stents inserted into an outer stent. The inner stents and outer stent are separated and/or encapulated by a protein-based material of a protein matrix and/or a set biocoacervate, each comprising one or more biocompatible proteins and one or more biocompatible solvents. The protein-based material may also include one or more carbohydrates and one or more pharmacologically active agents.
