ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a tissue perfusion catheter which includes a tightly wound coil spring having an exterior, fluid impervious sleeve extending from a proximal end up to a distal portion of the spring which terminates at a sealed distal tip. Connection of the proximal end of the catheter to a source permits perfusion of diseased tissue with a therapeutic fluid which oozes at a low rate from the unsealed distal portion, while avoiding tissue ingrowth tending to plug the catheter. Various combinations which include the catheter are also provided as are methods for its use.
