ABSTRACT:
An implantable programmable drug delivery system for injection of a pharmaceutical agent into the peritoneum to treat cardiac arrhythmia is described. The device consists of essentially three components: a main body containing electronics, power supply, valve means, and drug reservoir; an electronic lead into the heart to transmit impulses from the heart and deliver electronic responses to the heart; and a separate specialized drug delivery catheter for delivery of agents to the peritoneal cavity or near the exterior of the pericardium.
