BIOACTIVE PROSTHESES WITH IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE, ANTISTENOTIC AND ANTITHROMBOTIC PROPERTIES

摘要

The invention concerns a bioactive prosthesis comprising a support coated with a polymer layer with reactive functions, and a bioactive substance fixed on the prosthesis via said reactive functions so as to be gradually released on a site for implanting the prosthesis. Such prostheses are useful in the field of cardiology to avoid for example restenosis resulting from implantation of stents in coronary arteries.
