Abstract
The ability of our implantable pump to provide continuous long-term drug infusion in abulatory animals has been demonstrated. Chronic heparinization has been achieved in the dog for 6 mos. Anticipated complications, hemorrhage and osteoporosis occurred, but not to a prohibitive degree. The successful performance of the pump in these animal studies has led us to plan a clinical trial using the pump for heparin anticoagulation in patients and to investigate employment of the pump in cancer chemotherapy, insulin for the treatment of diabetes, and other purposes.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
