Cerebral Catheter devices ami methods for tise are provided. The catheter devices provided may include an antithrombotic agent coaling on the exterior surface. The catheter devices may include unique tip configurations to allow improved fluid delivery capabilities. Further, the catheter devices may aJso or alternatively include one or more sensor devices in communication with a controller that allow automatical!}' adjusting the delivery of a therapeutic fluid, for example a vasodilator, in response to lhe condition sensed by the catheter device, such as increased pressure. Moreover, the catheter devices may also he used in conjunction with blood How transducers to detect and timely prevent and treatment vasospasms or other conditions. Methods for preventing and treatment vasospasm, neoplasm, or other pathological conditions while prolonged using the catheter devi ce are al so pro v ided. |
