Endovascular drug delivery systems and methods are disclosed herein for delivering a therapeutic agent to the intracranial subarachnoid space of a patient, and/or deploying an endovascular drug delivery device distal portion in the intracranial subarachnoid space and a portion of the drug delivery device body in a dural venous sinus such that a therapeutic agent is delivered from the deployed drug delivery device into the intracranial subarachnoid space.

Implantable access device 1 for accessing the vascular system of a human or animal body, particularly subcutaneously implantable access port, comprising: a port body 2 with at least one outlet opening 11 connected or connectable to a catheter for accessing the vascular system of the human or animal body, a needle entrance 3 with at least one inlet opening 9 for receiving a needle, wherein the needle entrance 3 is connected to the port body 2 and movable relative to the port body 2 between a first, unactuated operating condition and a second, actuated operating condition, and locking means 8 for locking the needle entrance 3 in the first, unactuated operating condition and in the second, actuated operating condition, wherein the locking means 8 are activated by inserting the needle into the needle entrance 3 and applying a predetermined movement to needle entrance 3 via the inserted needle and/or by applying a predetermined movement to the needle entrance 3 via the inserted needle and removing the needle from the needle entrance 3.

The device includes a manipulation mechanism for maneuvering a base into position proximate a subcutaneous port. Arms extending from the base enable the device to receive the port and substantially immobilize the port relative to the device. The manipulation mechanism also enables a user to substantially immobilize the device relative to a patient. With the subcutaneous port substantially immobilized by the device, the user has greater confidence and accuracy when inserting a needle into the port. Further, embodiments of the device provide protection to the user to prevent inadvertent sticking of the user as the needle is introduced.

An implantable vascular access port has a main port body with one or more hollow internal chambers formed therein each with a floor at the base of the internal chamber. The port body has an outlet aperture formed in a sidewall there of the internal chamber. One or more parallel, lateral, or angled-access apertures, relative to the port floor and associated septa are located opposite the outlet aperture in the main port body in a sidewall there of (parallel or lateral or angled-access aperture or septum), with at least a one perpendicular-access aperture and septum located opposite the floor of the internal chamber(s). The port chamber in the area of the outlet aperture has an at least partially conical shape directionally aligned with the parallel or lateral or angled-access aperture and septum, with said outlet aperture in contiguity a reversible outlet tube or port body needle locking mechanism.

There is provided a medicinal liquid injection port to be implanted subcutaneously. A housing main body is provided with a medicinal liquid storage portion therein, an opening portion that opens the medicinal liquid storage portion, and a discharge hole that communicates with the medicinal liquid storage portion and configured to be connected with a tube. A septum attached to the opening portion of the housing main body and provided with a puncturable region that can be punctured with a puncture needle. A contrast portion is disposed in the septum over a thickness direction of the septum so as to detect the puncturable region of the septum with the ultrasonic wave. The contrast portion is provided in the septum within a thickness region of the septum and all of the contrast portion is positioned at an inner side of the septum in the thickness direction of the septum.
