Increased biocompatibility of implantable medical devices coated with TGF in combination with collagen

摘要

An implantable intraluminal medical device is described. The medical device comprises a substantially tubular member having open ends, a first diameter for insertion into a lumen of a vein and a second diameter for anchoring in the lumen of a vessel. An agent, in therapeutic dosages, is affixed to the substantially tubular structure for promoting endothelialization of the substantially tubular structure.
