An apparatus includes an elongate member having a proximal end portion and
a distal end portion. The proximal end portion is configured to receive
an electrical current from a current source. The elongate member is
configured to transmit the electrical current from the proximal end
portion to the distal end portion. At least a portion of the elongate
member is configured to be disposed within a body of a patient. An
electrode is coupled to the distal end portion of the elongate member.
The electrode is configured to transmit a portion of the electrical
current from the distal end portion of the elongate member to a target
bodily tissue. A coating is disposed on at least a portion of the
elongate member. The coating is formulated to release at least one of a
therapeutic agent, a conductive agent, and/or an insulative agent into
the body of the patient in response to the electrical current being
transmitted from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion of
the elongate member.
