Abstract: A delivery apparatus for delivering a cargo to a target site of internal body tissue is provided. The delivery apparatus comprises a flexible tubular member having a distal end adapted for insertion proximate to the target site. A first electrode is configured for insertion within the flexible tubular member such that the first electrode is capable of being disposed proximate to the target site. A second electrode is configured to cooperate with the first electrode to form an electric field. A delivery component has a cargo carried thereby and is coupled with the first electrode. The delivery component is configured to degrade when exposed to the electric field such that the cargo is released to the target site upon degradation thereof. An associated method is also provided.
