Method for forming a radioactive stent

摘要

Disclosed are methods for the endovascular formation of a radioactive stent using a radioactive composition. These compositions are delivered to one or more vascular sites in a mammal as a fluid composition which solidifies in vivo to form a solid, coherent radioactive mass, preferably in the form or a stent. The solidified mass stents the vascular site thereby delivering the radioactivity attendant with the composition resulting in inhibition of restenosis.
