Abstract

A delivery catheter system (10) for delivering a substance delivery member (15) into a patient's left ventricle (38) which includes a first delivery catheter (11) with a shaped distal extremity configured to be aligned with or parallel to a longitudinal axis (44) or long dimension of the patient's left ventricle (38) and a second delivery catheter (12) slidably and rotatably disposed within an inner lumen (45) of the first delivery catheter (11) which has a shaped distal shaft section and an inner lumen configured to slidably receive a substance delivery member such as an elongated cannula (16) slidably disposed within a polymer sheath (17, 18). The shaped distal section of the first delivery catheter is shaped or is sheapeable within the patient's heart chamber. The second delivery catheter (12) is advanced out of the inner lumen (45) of the first delivery catheter (11) until the distal end (21) extends out of the port in the distal end (32) of the first delivery catheter (11) and provides a passageway for substance delivery member (15) to engage the endocardial surface (43) at a perpendicular or near perpendicular orientation.
