Abstract
A system and method for restenosis mitigation at a trauma site within the vasculature. The system may include a catheter capable of delivering a restenosis mitigating drug and a sensor extending through a lumen in the catheter. The catheter may be positioned adjacent the trauma site and the restenosis mitigating drug may be delivered to the trauma site through the catheter. The restenosis mitigating drug or some other parameter may be sensed by the sensor.
