Claim:
1. A resector balloon system, comprising: a handheld pump; a hub mounted to said handheld pump; a catheter with a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein the proximal portion of said catheter is coupled to said hub; and at least one balloon at the distal portion of said catheter, said balloon at least partially enclosing an inflation chamber and having a resecting surface for resecting biological material; wherein said catheter has a first lumen in fluid communication with the inflation chamber of said balloon for supplying fluid thereto; wherein said hub has an inflation port in fluid communication with the first lumen of said catheter for supplying fluid thereto; wherein said catheter has a second lumen; wherein said hub has a delivery port in fluid communication with said second lumen for delivering a therapeutic and/or diagnostic agent to the distal portion of said catheter, wherein the delivery port is also in fluid communication with a source of the therapeutic and/or diagnostic agent; and wherein said handheld pump is in fluid communication with said inflation port such that the supply of fluid by said pump in pulsed fashion repeatedly inflates and deflates said balloon such that the resecting surface resects the biological material.
