A guidewire fluid delivery system is provided which is both a steerable guidewire and a mechanism for the delivery or withdrawal of fluid between a location outside of the body and a location distally within the body. A passageway is provided which directs fluid flow generally along the elongated coil of the guidewire. A treatment procedure is also provided whereby fluids are delivered to a distal location and/or withdrawn from a distal location during a procedure, the primary component of which is insertion of a fluid-delivery guidewire device.
