Abstract

A drug delivery device is provided with openings for directional delivery of a plurality of therapeutic agents to blood vessels or other lumens or organs. In particular, the invention relates to the delivery of different therapeutic agents, different quantities of therapeutic agents, or different release profiles of the same or different therapeutic agents in different directions from the drug delivery device. The invention is useful, for example, for delivering antirestenotic, antithrombotic, antiplatelet, antiproliferative, antineoplastic, immunosuppressive, angiogenic, anti­inflammatory, or antiangiogenic agents and/or vasodilators to a blood vessel. In one embodiment, antiproliferative, antineoplastic, angiogenic, antiangiogenic, anti­inflammatory, and/or antirestenotic agents are delivered to the wall of a blood vessel and antithrombotic agents, antiplatelet agents, and/or vasodilators are delivered to the lumen of a blood vessel.
