Abstract
A catheter for injecting medication to a specific point within a patient comprises a drug delivery lumen extending from a proximal end of the catheter to an injection port. The catheter comprises a mechanism for angularly pushing the injection port outwardly away from the body of the catheter into an artery wall so that medication can be injected directly into the artery wall.
