Abstract: Methods are provided for delivering a treatment therapy to treat an organ diagnosed with a disease state. The methods include delivering a first therapeutic agent into systemic circulation at a first flow rate, and delivering a second therapeutic agent directly into a vessel feeding the organ at a higher second flow rate than the first flow rate in a manner that prevents the second treatment agent from circulating systemically.

Abstract: A treatment system includes a dual lumen catheter system. The first lumen is open to systemic circulation. The second lumen is open to a target delivery location. In an embodiment, a pressure-control element is provided that includes an expanded configuration adapted to constrain delivery through the second lumen to the target delivery location. Methods for treating tissues and organs via vascular pathways are provided.

Abstract: A method of delivering a therapeutic agent into a patient vessel with a delivery device is provided. The delivery device includes an infusion lumen through which the agent is delivered, a vessel occluder that can be operated between a collapsed and an expanded configuration, and when in the expanded configuration occludes the vessel, and a pressure sensor shielded from the effects of turbulent flow at an exit of the infusion lumen. The shield pressure sensor is able to accurately sense pressure in the vessel. The sensed pressure is used to determine a dwell time for the vessel occluder in the expanded configuration.

Abstract: An atraumatic vessel occlusive system includes a flexible tubular member with an infusion lumen, a vessel occluder mounted at the distal end of the tubular member, and a pressure sensor located within a chamber defined by the occluder. The occluder has a braided construct provided with a fluid impermeable membrane over its proximal portion and a fluid permeable covering over its distal portion. The pressure sensor is adapted to sense pressure within the vessel through the fluid permeable membrane without being subject to the effects of turbulent flow at the exit of the infusion lumen. The accurately sensed pressure can be used to determine a dwell time for the occluder.
