Abstract

Methods and apparatus are provided for delivering a bioactive agent in a needle track formed in a target tissue mass, following formation of the needle track, by avoiding impingement of the agent against target tissue at high velocity or by using capillary action to draw the bioactive agent out of the needle during needle withdrawal. The apparatus comprises a catheter (31) and a needle (37) disposed within the catheter (31) and configured to be selectively extended into the tissue mass to a predetermined depth, while dispensing the agent simultaneously with retraction of the needle along the needle track. Alternatively, or in addition, the needle (37) may be configured to create a tissue space surrounding a distal or lateral surface of the needle (37), into which the bioactive agent to be infused.

Claims

received by the International Bureau on 16 November 2006 (16.11.2006)
+STATEMENT
What Is Claimed Is:
1. Apparatus for depositing a bioactive agent into a tissue mass, comprising: a catheter having a proximal end and a distal region and a lurnen extending therebetween; an elongated member disposed within the lumen of the catheter, the elongated member having a proximal end, a tissue-piercing distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween, the elongated member configured to atraumatically deliver the bioactive agent via the lumen into the tissue mass; and an actuator for selectively extending and retracting the tissue-piercing distal end of the elongated member into the tissue mass to form a needle track, wherein the bioactive agent is atraumatically delivered into the needle track during retraction of the tissue piercing distal end of the elongated member.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the elongated member is configured to deliver the bioactive agent using capillary action during retraction of the tissue-piercing distal end of the elongated member.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 further comprising a container holding a quantity of bioactive agent, the container coupled to the lumen of the elongated member, and a one-way valve that relieves negative pressure within the container.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 further comprising a valve that selectively couples the container to the lumen of the elongated member.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the tissue- piercing distal end of the elongated member
REPLACEMENT PAGE configured to be selectively extended beyond the lateral surface of the catheter.
17. Apparatus for depositing a bioactive agent into a tissue mass of a hollow organ, comprising: a catheter having a proximal end and a distal region and a lumen extending therebetween; an elongated member disposed within the lumen of the catheter, the elongated member having a proximal end, a tissue- piercing distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween, the elongated member configured to atraumatically deliver the bioactive agent via the lumen into the tissue mass; and means for stabilizing the catheter and elongated member within the hollow organ, wherein the bioactive agent is atraumatically delivered into a needle track formed during retraction of the tissue piercing distal end of the elongated member.
18. The apparatus of claim 17 further comprising an actuator for selectively extending and retracting the tissue- piercing distal end of the elongated member into the tissue mass to form a needle track.
19. The apparatus of claim 18 wherein the elongated member is configured to deliver the bioactive agent using capillary action during retraction of the tissue-piercing distal end of the elongated member.
20. The apparatus of claim 19 further comprising a container holding a quantity of bioactive agent, the container coupled to the lumen of the elongated member, and a one-way valve that relieves negative pressure within the container.
