An improved implantable prosthesis for delivering one or more drugs to a target site within a lumen of a patient is disclosed. The implantable prosthesis includes a stent with a drug-releasing reservoir in the form of a sheath or strand of material. The device is generally configured to effectively and efficiently treat coronary artery disease. In addition, the device and treatment methods reduce patient recovery times and hospital costs and overall improve the quality of life for patients. |
