摘要：
A method and apparatus for the local delivery of therapeutic agents reducesmyocardial tissue damage due to ischemia. A local delivery device is used fordelivery of the therapeutic agents into a coronary artery which feeds theischemic myocardial tissue. According to one example, an implantable medicaldevice for delivering insulin locally to myocardial tissue includes atherapeutic dosage of insulin in a biocompatible polymer affixed to a stent.The therapeutic dosage of insulin is released from the stent at a therapeuticdosage and over an administration period effective to reduce ischemic injuryof the myocardial tissue.
