Zusammenfassung:The invention discloses an implantable fluid delivery system. The present invention is generally related to an implantable system for delivering fluids, such as drugs, to one or more anatomical structures in a patient's (i.e., human or animal) body. A number of medical conditions require continual and/or periodic administration of fluids (e.g., drugs) to target regions (e.g., anatomic organs) of the body. Accessibility to those target regions might be limited technically for ex. and not limited to: frequent endoscopic, radiologically guided or surgical approaches. According to the invention, the system delivers the fluid needed in a continual or intermittent fashion to the target region. The system controls the amount of fluid delivered to the target region and measures the intended physiologic effect of the fluid delivered. 本发明主要涉及种用于将流体(例如药剂)输送到患者(例如,人或动物)体内的个或多个解剖结构的植入式系统。许多医疗状况要求对身体的目标区域(例如,解剖器官)连续和/或定期给予流体(例如,药剂)。针对这些目标区域的可达性可能受到技术限制,例如但不限于:频繁内窥镜的、放射引导的或外科的方法。本发明通过连续或间歇方式将所需的流体输送到目标区域。其控制输送到目标区域的流体的量,并且测
