ABSTRACT:
In general, the invention features methods for delivering a composition to the lung in a non-surgical, percutaneous approach by utilizing the pulmonary vasculature (i.e., the pulmonary arteries and veins).
Also disclosed are methods allowing for the lung-specific delivery of a composition, as well as a catheter that includes a deployable arm.
