Abstract
A novel treatment for atherosclerotic vascular disease is described utilizing the implantation of a thin, conformable biocompatible prosthesis constructed from a composite of various structural and therapeutic scaffolds in combination with one or more bioactive agents. This prosthesis can be delivered into position over a lesion in order to passivate atherosclerotic plaques with minimal remodeling of the artery, or alternatively can be applied with a balloon to passivate the remodeled site. The composite prosthesis itself provides mild structural reinforcement of the vessel wall and an evenly distributed platform for the introduction of bioactive therapeutic agents.
