Prolonged, acute suppression of cysteinyl leukotriene to reduce capsular contracture around silicone implants.
[UNLABELLED] We hypothesize that periodically early, local suppression of cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs), which are potent inflammatory mediators, can reduce the fibrotic capsular contracture around silicone implants. We tested this hypoth…

Acute suppression of TGF-ß with local, sustained release of tranilast against the formation of fibrous capsules around silicone implants.
We propose the acute, local suppression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß), a major profibrotic cytokine, to reduce fibrosis around silicone implants. To this end, we prepared silicone implants that were able to release tranilast, a…
