The drug delivery system used in interventional radiology

Abstract

There are many drug delivery system technologies applied to endovascular intervention. For vascular lesion, drug-eluting stents are widely used in percutaneous coronary intervention, and drug-eluting balloons are gradually used both in coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease. For tumor lesion, drug delivery system technologies are widely used in trans-catheter arterial chemoembolization for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. In this article, we will review these technologies and mention to our approach to apply drug delivery system technologies to the endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms.
