And a method of manufacturing the same gene transfer stent using titanium oxide thin film coating

摘要

The present invention relates to a gene delivery stent using titanium oxide thin film coating and a method for fabricating the gene delivery stent. The gene delivery stent according to the present invention may be loaded with a drug having anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects and simultaneously deliver a gene capable of inhibiting proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Accordingly, late thrombosis and metal allergy may be reduced, and vascular restenosis in the stent region may be prevented, thereby making it possible to increase treatment effects of the bare metal stent.
