Abstract:
A method for making an implantable medical device for in vivo delivery of bioactive active agents to a situs in a body. The implantable structural element may be configured as an implantable prosthesis, such as an endoluminal stent, cardiac valve, osteal implant or the like, which serves a dual function of being prosthetic and a carrier for a bioactive agent. Alternatively, the implantable structural element may simply be an implantable article that serves the single function of acting as a time-release carrier for the bioactive agent.

Claim (Index 12):
The implantable drug-eluting device of  claim 11 , wherein the plural tubular elements are joined in a configuration selected from the group consisting of a grid configuration, a mesh configuration, and a braided configuration.
