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

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour l'administration locale d'agents thérapeutiques destinés à réduire les lésions tissulaires myocardiques résultant d'une ischémie. On utilise un dispositif d'administration locale pour administrer les agents thérapeutiques dans une artère coronaire qui alimente le tissu myocardique ischémique. Dans un exemple, un dispositif médical implantable servant à administrer localement de l'insuline à un tissu myocardique comprend une dose thérapeutique d'insuline dans un polymère biocompatible fixé à une endoprothèse. La dose thérapeutique d'insuline est libérée de l'endoprothèse selon un dosage thérapeutique et sur une durée d'administration efficaces en vue de réduire les atteintes ischémiques du tissu myocardique.
