Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device for intracorporeal use which comprises an implant or a temporary device and at least one source of myolimus or a derivative thereof. The present disclosure also provides a method of inhibiting cell proliferation, inflammation or cytokine production by systemic or local administration of a therapeutically effective amount of myolimus or a derivative thereof. Further included in the present disclosure is a method of treating an ophthalmic condition or disease by administering a therapeutically effective amount of myolimus or a derivative thereof.

Abstract: The disclosure provides biodegradable implantable devices such as a stent comprising a biodegradable polymeric wherein the polymeric material is treated to control crystallinity and/or Tg. The stent is capable to expand at body temperature from a crimped configuration to a deployed diameter and have sufficient strength to support a body lumen.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting cell migration or treating an inflammatory condition, comprising administering a compound disclosed herein to the subject, is provided. The compound can be administered systemically, locally, or a combination thereof. For example, the compound can be locally delivered from a temporary device or an implant, such as a vascular prosthesis.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting smooth muscle cell proliferation or cytokine production in a subject, comprising administering a compound disclosed herein to the subject, is provided. The compound can be administered systemically, locally, or a combination thereof. For example, the compound can be locally delivered from a temporary device or an implant, such as a vascular prosthesis.

Abstract: Biodegradable endoprostheses are formed from amorphous polymers having desirable biodegradation characteristics. The strength of such amorphous polymers is enhanced by annealing to increase crystallinity without substantially increasing the biodegradation time.

Abstract: Luminal prostheses comprise scaffolds having coatings adhered to at least a portion of their outer surfaces. The surfaces are modified to enhance binding of the coatings. For example, the surfaces may be microblasted, laser treated, chemically etched, exposed to plasma, or exposed to a corona discharge, allowing a polymeric coating to adhere to the scaffold more tightly than in the absence of the surface modification. The coatings can be used to deliver therapeutic or other agents dispersed therein.
