Coated intraluminal graft
First Claim
1. An intraluminal graft for use within in a body cavity including a geometrically shaped member and a biological agent, said geometrically shaped member having first and second ends and a wall surface disposed between the first and second ends, the wall surface being formed by a plurality of intersecting elongated members, at least some of the elongated members intersecting with one another intermediate the first and second ends of the geometrically shaped member, said geometrically shaped member having a first diameter which permits intraluminal delivery of the geometrically shaped member into a body cavity, and a second expanded diameter, said biological agent being at least partially coated on the surface of said geometrically member, said biological agent including a compound to inhibit or reduce a biological condition selected from the group consisting of restenosis, vascular narrowing, in-stent restenosis and combinations thereof, at least a portion of said biological agent releasably coated on a surface of said graft.

Abstract
An expandable intraluminal graft for use within a body cavity having a tubular shaped member with two ends and a wall surface disposed between the ends. The tubular shaped member has a first diameter to permit intraluminal delivery of the member into a body cavity, and a second expanded diameter. Coated on the surface of the tubular shaped member is a substance that inhibits and/or reduces restenosis, vascular narrowing and/or in-stent restenosis.
