The present invention includes systems, methods and apparatus. A system in
accord with the present invention may include an intraluminal patch sized
to fit within a lumen and an expandable therapeutic delivery device. The
patch in this embodiment may have an adhesive region on an exposed
surface and a drug reservoir region in communication with the exposed
surface. By comparison, a method employing the present invention may
include placing an intraluminal patch over an expandable delivery device,
advancing the delivery device and the expandable patch to a target site,
expanding the delivery device so that the patch adheres to the target
site, and contracting and withdrawing the delivery device. In so doing
the patch may remain to emit a drug to the target site over a sustained
period of time.
