"Convection enhanced delivery (CED) achieves targeted delivery of drugs with a pressure-driven infusion through a cannula placed stereotactically in the brain. This technique bypasses the blood brain barrier and gives precise distributions of drugs, minimizing off-target effects of compounds such as viral vectors for gene therapy or toxic chemotherapy agents," investigators in San Francisco, California report.
