PROTRACTED PARENTERAL DRUG INFUSION IN AMBULATORY SUBJECTS USING AN IMPLANTABLE INFUSION PUMP

ASAIO Journal, 1977
This study demonstrates the feasibility of ambulatory heparin therapy and its potential for successful treatment of refractory thromboembolic disease. The proven capability of the implantable infusion pump to provide long-term heparin infusion in ambulatory subjects suggests that it may have application in the delivery of other parenteral drugs as well.

Implantable Insulin Infusion Pumps: A Case Presentation

The Diabetes Educator, 1989
A case is presented of a young woman implanted with a program mable implantable medication system (PIMS). Implanted insulin pumps have been the subject of research for over a decade but have encountered a series of obstacles ranging from design problems to insulin aggregation to catheter blocking from omental tissue. Many of these problems, but not all,

An Implantable Pump for Intrarenal Infusion of Immunosuppressants in a Canine Autotransplant Model

Pharmaceutical Research, 1988
We developed a canine renal allograft model utilizing implantable infusion pumps and biocompatible catheters to investigate the pharmacokinetics of local immunosuppressive drug administration. Seven mongrel dogs underwent bilateral nephrectomy and autotransplantation of one kidney to the iliac vessels.

Regional hepatic chemotherapy using an implantable drug infusion pump

The American Journal of Surgery, 1983
Regional infusion of chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of liver cancer can greatly increase tumor exposure to certain drugs. Exposure is 100 times greater with floxuridine, 6 times greater with mitomycin C, and 6 times greater with BCNU. The Model 400 Infusaid implantable, refillable drug infusion pump overcomes much of the discomfort and ...

Intraarterial infusion chemotherapy for head and neck cancer using a totally implantable infusion pump

Head & Neck Surgery, 1981
AbstractIntraarterial infusion chemotherapy has not been widely accepted for the treatment of head and neck cancer due to the high rate of complications it involves. To avoid these complications, a totally implantable infusion pump has been developed to achieve continuous low‐level drug delivery for long periods of time.

The implantable “Infusaid” infusion pump: The Sydney experience using 5‐fluorouracil

Medical Journal of Australia, 1986
The experience is reported of the use of the totally implantable "Infusaid" infusion pump in the treatment of 14 patients in our combined clinics for metastatic carcinoma in the liver by means of the antimetabolite 5-FU. At the time of this study the more active antimetabolite 5-FUDR was not available.
