Abstract
A multi-lumen implantable device configured to deliver a therapeutic agent to a selected portion of a blood vessel is disclosed. As one example, an implantable device includes a first lumen configured to flow blood from an upstream end to a downstream end of the device when implanted in a blood vessel; a second lumen fluidly separated from the first lumen and configured for introducing a therapeutic agent to a selected, first portion of a wall of the blood vessel, between the upstream end and the downstream end of the device; and at least one sealing member configured to block the therapeutic agent from entering a second portion of the wall of the blood vessel, between the upstream end and the downstream end of the device.
