Prevention of intimal hyperplasia by immobilized all-trans retinoic acid
Guillermo Ameer | Via Science Direct/Journal of Controlled Release | March 30, 2018Neointimal hyperplasia is the main factor that determines the long- term durability of vascular interventions, such as angioplasty and by- pass grafting. As these interventions result in localized injury, several clinical therapeutics have been developed to deliver antiproliferative agents locally. Currently, several drug-eluting stents delivering anti- proliferative drugs (e.g., sirolimus and paclitaxel) are clinically avail- […]
