Vascular infusion catheters designed for local delivery of drugs (e.g., heparin) to the coronary vasculature. These catheters typically consist of a double-lumen tube; a drug solution is infused into the arteries through a lumen and bathes the vessel wall, and a second lumen serves as a passage for a guide wire. Coronary artery infusion catheters are typically used for local drug delivery (e.g., heparin) and for the lysis of thrombus in the coronary vasculature.
