DEVICE, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOCALIZED HEATING OF A VESSEL AND/OR IN COMBINATION WITH MR/NMR IMAGING OF THE VESSEL AND SURROUNDING TISSUE. |
摘要 |
Featured are devices, systems and methods for localized heating of a vessel as well as devices, systems and methods for MR/NMR imaging of a vessel while locally heating a portion of the vessel. More particularly featured are such devices, systems and methods for use when administering or delivering therapeutic agents including genes and/or drugs to the tissues of the vessel. Such a method includes positioning a thermal energy delivery device proximal a target site of an internal the vessel of a body and activating the thermal energy delivery device so as to heat the target site thereby locally increasing a temperature of tissue at the target site. In further embodiments, the method includes introducing a therapeutic medium to the target site over a predetermined time period, and wherein said activating occurs at least one of before, during or after said step of introducing. |
