Abstract

Described herein are a method and apparatus for introducing instrumentation like an implantable drug delivery apparatus (1200) with a balloon catheter (1111) and sensors into the lymphatic system. It can be used for physiological monitoring and/or delivery of therapy. Such instrumentation, for example, may include one or more sensors for measuring physiological variables and/or one or more instruments for delivering therapy that is adapted to be disposed within a lymphatic vessel.
