Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides an implantable guide for access to a treatment site. The implantable guide comprises a proximal end, a distal end, and a guide body defining a lumen, and can optionally comprise a stable positioning element for stably positioning a drug delivery device within the guide. The guide can be provided in connection with a drug delivery device. In use, the guide is implanted within a subject so as to provide a conduit through which a drug delivery device can be retrievably introduced to facilitate delivery of drug to a treatment site within a subject at a site distal to an accessible implantation site. The drug delivery device is then positioned within the guide lumen to provide for delivery of drug from the drug delivery to the desired treatment site.
