SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING SUPERFICIAL VENOUS MALFORMATIONS LIKE SPIDER VEINS
摘要
<p>Systems and methods treat superficial venous malformations, such as spider veins. The systems and methods distribute a light-reactive agent, e.g., verteporfin, at or near an.inner wall of a vein. The systems and methods activate the light -reactive agent by applying non-thermal light energy at a wavelength that activates the light-reactive agent to cause localize injury to the inner wall of the vein.</p>
