Endoluminal delivery system
First Claim
1. ) An endoluminal delivery system, comprising:
- a. an endoluminal prosthesis having a first state and a second state, wherein said endoluminal prosthesis is sized to fit through a body lumen in said first state and said second state is expanded relative to said first state;
b. at least one delivery capsule incorporated to the outer wall of said endoluminal prosthesis wherein each one of said delivery capsules has a predetermined delivery pressure; and
c. at least one reactant in said delivery capsule, wherein said endoluminal prosthesis is expanded from said first state to said second state to expand said endoluminal prosthesis against said body lumen and induce said predetermined delivery pressure to said delivery capsule according to desired positioning and timing to deliver said reactant to said body lumen.

Abstract
An endoluminal delivery system is provided having an endoluminal prosthesis sized to fit through a body lumen in a first unexpanded state, where a second state is an expanded relative to the first state. At least one delivery capsule is incorporated to the outer wall of the endoluminal prosthesis, where each one of the delivery capsules has a predetermined delivery pressure. There is at least one reactant in the delivery capsule, where the endoluminal prosthesis is expanded from the first state to the second state to expand the endoluminal prosthesis against the body lumen and induce the predetermined delivery pressure to the delivery capsule, and deliver the reactants to the body lumen according to desired positioning and timing. At least one containment band incorporated to the outer wall of the endoluminal prosthesis and positioned near the delivery capsules to localize the reactants.

24. ) A method of using an endoluminal delivery system, comprising:
-
a. providing a body lumen;
b. inserting an endoluminal delivery system to said body lumen, wherein said endoluminal delivery system holds at least one delivery capsule having predetermined release pressure, and having at least one reactant in said delivery capsule;
c. inserting an expandable balloon to said endoluminal delivery system; and
d. pressurizing said expandable balloon to a predetermined pressure to expand said expandable endoluminal delivery system and induce said predetermined pressure to said delivery capsule against said body lumen to release a predetermined volume of said reactant according to desired positioning and timing that is localized to deliver said reactant to said body lumen.
