Abstract
A catheter including an injection port at or near the distal end thereof and a mechanism for causing the injection port to move between a first position and a second position. In the first position the injection port is substantially aligned with a central axis of the catheter. Upon activation of the mechanism, the injection port moves between the first position and the second position perpendicular to the central axis of the catheter. The mechanism also causes the injection port to move away from the central axis of the catheter and into a wall of the vasculature.
