    摘要: The present invention provides a prophylactic light activated treatment method for subjects at risk of a plaque-mediated thrombotic event, such as acute coronary syndromes. In one embodiment, the subject receives a dose of photosensitizer sufficient to result in a concentration of photosensitizer in the neovascularization associated with atherosclerotic disease to permit effective photodynamic therapy. Light of a wavelength that excites the photosensitizer, but that does not to any significant extent penetrate to an adventitial layer of the blood vessel, is applied to the region of the blood vessel. The therapeutic light dose, which may be applied in sequential stages, is sufficient to cause closure of neovasculature leakage and lead to plaque stabilization and reduced adverse clinical outcomes. The present invention further provides light transmission devices and systems useful in carrying out the methods of the present invention.

    摘要: A method of manufacture and medical apparatus that provides an apparatus useful in illuminating at least a portion of a lumen of a body. The apparatus includes an elongated flexible member and a polymer encasement portion encasing a plurality of light emitters. The light emitters may be electrically coupled to one another without the use of wire bonds, and in some embodiments may be coupled without intervening electrical paths or traces. A maximum cross-sectional dimension of the polymer encasement portion may be less than twice a dimension of one of the light emitters. In some embodiments the maximum cross-sectional dimension is less than or equal to the sum of the dimension of one of the light emitters and a marginal dimension by which an outer portion of the polymer encasement portion extends beyond the light emitter. Light emitters may be arranged linearly, helically or in partially overlapping back-to-back relation.

    摘要: There is disclosed a method of treating hypoxia in tissue of a blood vessel, the method comprising placing a stent in the vessel, the stent having a centre line which curves in three dimensions to promote the supply of oxygen from the blood flowing in the lumen of the stented vessel to the vessel wall. There is disclosed a method of treating a subject with diabetic atherosclerosis, the method comprising placing a stent in a blood vessel of the subject, the stent having a centre line which curves in three dimensions to promote the supply of oxygen from the blood flowing in the lumen of the stented vessel to the vessel wall.
