Abstract
A drug delivery device is provided for directly treating a treatment site. The device allows body fluids to perfuse past the device while it is expanded to increase the amount of treatment time that is possible. The drug is delivered through a hollow helical tube that extends around a support structure. The hollow tube includes a series of lateral holes to allow the drug to directly reach the desired treatment site.
