Abstract
To increase the therapeutic effectiveness of device-directed drug delivery systems for diseased cardiovascular tissues and cancerous tissues, new devices and new functional biomaterials were devised to meet the requirements as listed below: drug-infusible balloon catheter, drug-releasable and covered stents, and in situ hydrogelation on and in cancerous tissues. New therapeutic strategies based on these devices were discussed.Entities:
