Abstract:
The present invention is related to scoring or cutting balloon catheters carrying at least on a portion of their surface at least one oxidation-insensitive drug or oxidation-insensitive polymer free drug preparation and at least one lipophilic antioxidant at a ratio of 3-100% by weight of the at least one lipophilic antioxidant in relation to 100% by weight of the drug, wherein the at least one oxidation-insensitive drug is selected of taxes, thalidomide, statins, corticoids and lipophilic derivatives of corticoids, and the at least one lipophilic antioxidant is selected of nordihydroguaiaretic acid, resveratrol and propyl gallate.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of manufacturing a medical device for use in angioplasty or coronary angioplasty, comprising:\n providing a balloon catheter, the balloon catheter comprising:\n a shaft; \n an inflatable balloon coupled to the shaft, wherein the inflatable balloon has a surface; and \n a nonimplantable scoring structure surrounding the inflatable balloon; and \n spraying a coating composition onto at least a portion of the surface of the inflatable balloon, wherein the coating composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of an oxidation-insensitive taxane drug and an amount of nordihydroguaiaretic acid that protects the oxidation-insensitive taxane drug from premature loss during delivery to an angioplasty site, wherein the nordihydroguaiaretic acid is at a ratio of 20-100% by weight, in relation to 100% by weight of the oxidation-insensitive taxane drug.
