  • Publication number: 20240096472
    Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions thereon. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: infuse a substance into a target object, via an infusion device, according to a first flow rate; set a second flow rate associated with infusing the substance into the target object, based on a withdrawal rate of the infusion device from the target object; and infuse the substance into the target object based on the second flow rate.

  • Publication number: 20230398285
    Abstract: A system is provided for treating ailments associated with a liver of a subject. The system may comprise an implantable infusion pump or similar device that is configured to deliver a liquid formulation to the liver of the subject. In some examples, the liquid formulation may be delivered to the liver based on a catheter that is attached to the implantable infusion pump at a proximal end and implanted in a target location of the subject at a distal end, such as a hepatic artery of the subject. Additionally, the liquid formulation may be configured to be delivered at a programmable flow rate for a period of time to reach a steady state concentration in the liver for providing a treatment for an ailment associated with the liver. In some examples, the ailment associated with the liver of the patient may comprise a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
