Abstract: A method and system for delivering drug includes a first set of holes filled with a first formulation of the drug and a second set of holes filled with a second formulation of the same drug. This dual formulation or dual release kinetic system allows the creation of specifically tailored release kinetics by summation of multiple release kinetics.

Abstract: Implantable medical devices may be utilized to locally delivery one or more drugs or therapeutic agents to treat a wide variety of conditions, including the treatment of the biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the implantable medical device. These therapeutic agents may be released under controlled and directional conditions from a stent so that the one or more therapeutic agents reach the correct target area, for example, the surrounding tissue.

Abstract: A balloon catheter with a balloon having at least a section which has an uninflated configuration with at least two lobes and an inflated configuration with a cylindrical surface. In a presently preferred embodiment, the balloon has a lobed inner surface and a lobed outer surface. In one embodiment, the balloon has a uniform wall thickness around a circumference of the lobed balloon section. However, in alternative embodiments the balloon wall thickness may nonuniform around the balloon circumference. Each lobe forms a deflated balloon wing when the balloon is deflated.
