    摘要: A catheter for emitting radiation is disclosed, comprising a catheter shaft and an x-ray unit attached to the distal end of the catheter shaft. The x-ray unit comprises an anode and a cathode coupled to an insulator to define a vacuum chamber. The cathode is preferably a field emission cathode of graphite or graphite coated with titanium carbide, for example. The anode is preferably tungsten and the insulator is preferably pyrolytic boron nitride. The x-ray unit is preferably coupled to a voltage source through a coaxial cable. The anode is preferably a heavy metal such as tungsten. The cathode may also be a ferroelectric material. The x-ray unit can have a diameter less than about 4 mm and a length less than about 15 mm. Methods of use of the catheter are also disclosed. The catheter of the present invention can be used to irradiate the site of an angioplasty procedure to prevent restenosis. It can also be used to treat other conditions in any vessel, lumen or cavity of the body.

    摘要: Generally, the present invention provides a device for insertion into a body of a subject being treated to deliver localized x-ray radiation, and a method for fabricating such a device. The device includes a cathode structure that has a thin, diamond film as a cathode. The device further comprises a vacuum housing and an anode. A method for fabricating a device for localized x-ray radiation is described which includes the formation of a thin diamond film on a getter at temperatures below an activation temperature of the getter.

    摘要: The present invention provides improved devices, methods, and kits for inhibiting restenosis and hyperplasia after intravascular intervention. In particular, the present invention provides controlled radiosensitizer delivery in combination with ionizing radiation to selected locations within a patient's vasculature to reduce and/or inhibit restenosis and hyperplasia rates with increased efficacy. In one embodiment, the combination radiation and radiosensitizer delivery catheter for inhibiting hyperplasia comprises a catheter body having a proximal end and distal end, an ionizing radiation source coupleable to the catheter body for applying a radiation dose to a body lumen, and a porous material, matrix, membrane, banier, coating, infusion lumen, stent, graft, or reservoir for releasing an radiosensitizer to the body lumen.

    摘要: An infusion guide wire of superelastic nickel titanium is disclosed comprising a lumen extending longitudinally through the wire and a distal portion with a smaller outer diameter than a proximal portion. One or more intermediate portions of intermediate outer diameters can be provided, as well. An occlusion balloon can be attached to the distal portion, and inflated through the lumen. Alternatively, or in conjunction with the occlusion balloon, drugs or other agents can be delivered through the lumen.
