Disclosed is an implantable device for delivering a pre-selected molecule, for example, a hormone, into a mammal's systemic circulation. The device comprises a blood permeable element that can be anchored to an inner wall of an intact blood vessel. The device also comrpises a capsule that is held in place within the blood vessel by the anchored blood permeable element. The capsule encloses viable cells which produce and secrete the pre-selected molecule into blood passing the capsule. The invention also provides a minimally invasive method for percutaneously introducing into a pre-selected blood vessel the device of the invention.

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif implantable qui permet de libérer une molécule présélectionnée (par exemple, une hormone) dans la circulation systémique d'un mammifère. Ce dispositif comprend un élément perméable au sang susceptible d'être fixé à une paroi intérieure d'un vaisseau sanguin intact. Il comprend également une capsule maintenue en place dans le vaisseau sanguin par l'élément fixé sus-mentionné. La capsule renferme des cellules viables qui produisent et sécrètent la molécule présélectionnée pour l'introduire dans le sang traversant la capsule. On décrit également un procédé dont le caractère invasif est réduit au minimum pour l'introduction percutanée du dispositif dans un vaisseau sanguin présélectionné.
