Abstract

Introduction: Convection-enhanced delivery (CED) provides a flexible platform for local delivery of drugs to brain tissue using a minimally invasive approach. Using a pressure-mediated flow, CED devices can bypass the blood–brain barrier in a targeted and safe manner that can achieve therapeutic drug concentrations and increase drug penetration and efficacy compared to systemic delivery. CED is primarily utilized in neuro-oncology applications, but may have broader applicability for treating other neural disorders, but questions of long-term biocompatibility must be addressed.
