| Research Abstract |
We invented a novel drug delivery system, which provides the great therapeutic flexibility in the choice of drugs, the timing of the administration and the duration of the drug elution. In combination with endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), our drug delivery system would provide an ideal solution for the minimally invasive and personalized treatment of aortic aneurysm, a common and fatal disease in elderly people.
