Reperfusion therapy is widely used to treat acute myocardial infarction. However, its efficacy is limited by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), which occurs paradoxically due to the reperfusion therapy and contributes to the high mortality rate of acute myocardial infarction. Systemic administration of drugs, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents, to reduce MIRI is often ineffective due to the inadequate release at the pathological sites. Functional biomaterials are being developed to optimize the use of drugs by improving their targetability and bioavailability and reducing side effects, such as gastrointestinal irritation, thrombocytopenia, and liver damage. This review provides an overview of controlled drug delivery biomaterials for treating MIRI by triggering antioxidation, calcium ion overload inhibition, and/or inflammation regulation mechanisms and discusses the challenges and potential applications of these treatments clinically.
