    摘要: The present invention provides and apparatus and methods for emboli removal and stenting within the renal arteries having a catheter system having a distal occlusion element, a stent deployment section, and an emboli removal lumen. The occlusion element is disposed at a predetermined distance from the stent deployment section specific for use in the renal artery, and is constructed to reduce the potential for perforation or jailing during stent deployment. The apparatus further includes an array of radio-opaque markers disposed on the stent delivery catheter to facilitate accurate stent deployment within a renal artery.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for delivering a bioactive agent in a needle track formed in a target tissue mass, following formation of the needle track, by avoiding impingement of the agent against target tissue at high velocity or by using capillary action to draw the bioactive agent out of the needle during needle withdrawal. The apparatus comprises a catheter (31) and a needle (37) disposed within the catheter (31) and configured to be selectively extended into the tissue mass to a predetermined depth, while dispensing the agent simultaneously with retraction of the needle along the needle track. Alternatively, or in addition, the needle (37) may be configured to create a tissue space surrounding a distal or lateral surface of the needle (37), into which the bioactive agent to be infused.
