ABSTRACT:
A device and a method for the selective delivery of drugs or therapeutic agents to the heart. The device consists of a catheter which is introduced into the ascending aorta via the right brachial artery, the femoral artery, or directly. The balloon portion of the catheter is then inflated in the ascending aorta while introducing the drug or therapeutic agent through the distal opening and directly into the coronary arteries. Several doses of the drug or therapeutic agent may be given by delivery in coordination with timed inflation and deflation of the balloon during diastole of the heart. In addition, a two-balloon catheter may be utilized to enhance delivery of the drug or agent to the coronary arteries.
