ABSTRACT:
Taking a bodily sample, e.g., a cell sample, from deep within the body of a patient and collecting the sample outside the body to facilitate treatment of the patient. A sampling probe is provided in the form of an elongate catheter having a proximal portion that remains outside the body and a distal portion that can be located within the body. The distal portion includes a membrane with openings that communicate with space that communicates with a source of suction force. The catheter is positioned within the body. The sample is taken by exposing the membrane by placing it in proximity with a desired location so that the bodily sample is received by the membrane. The catheter is removed from the patient, the sample is collected outside the body, treated, disposed onto a device, such as a graft, stent, or catheter, and reintroduced into the body at a desired site.
