Method results in 100% bioavailability of the agent due to an absence of the absorption phase and provides a precise and continuous mode of drug therapy, especially for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index.

Intravenously administered drug is diluted in the pooled venous blood and pumped through lungs before entering systematic circulation (lung first-pass effect). The target organ receives only the fraction of drug corresponding to the fraction of received arterial blood.;
