摘要：
A method and apparatus to endovascularly treat blood vessels using a light beam that causes minimal collateral damage to surrounding tissue is described. The technique can improve the appearance of a blood vessel and/or reduce its size, as well as relieve other medical symptoms. The wavelength of the light beam can be selected so as to heat one or more chromophores either inside the blood vessel or within the blood vessel wall itself. Access to the vein lumen of the targeted blood vessel can be obtained via an optical fiber inserted into the blood vessel through a catheter.
