A drug for preventing vascular restenosis comprises a compound that inactivates α1-protease inhibitor and α2-macroglobulin as active constituents, which are associated with occurrence of vascular restenosis after coronary artery intervention. Preferably, the drug is coated on a surface of an implantable intravascular device and locally administered to the affected area by application of the implantable intravascular device to a narrowed area. |
