Zusammenfassung:Apparatus and methods for delivering particles to a target region in a patient's body. The apparatus includes a hub and a catheter having a proximal end coupled to and in fluid communication with the hub. The distal end of the catheter is inserted into the target region. The apparatus also includes: means for directing substrate to the target region, the means being coupled to the hub and in fluid communication with the catheter; a pressure sensor for measuring a pressure of the substrate and generating a signal commensurate with the pressure; and a pressure display for displaying the pressure in response to the signal.
