<p>A method and device to treat cardiovascular vulnerable plaque is provided by heating an implanted structure placed adjacent to a vulnerable plaque tissue to conduct heat into the vulnerable plaque tissue for a period of time. In a preferred embodiment, the implanted structure is a sent-like structure (SLS), and the heating of the implanted structure is a non-invasive inductive heating. The detecting of the vulnerable plaque tissue can be accomplished by techniques, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), infrared spectroscopy, thermography,blood tests, ultrasound, and X-ray, etc.</p> |
