Methods for delivering vibrational energy to subcutaneous tissue sites comprise externally generating acoustic energy and directing the external energy to an implanted structure which is capable of resonating at a pre-selected frequency. The vibration of the implanted structure, in turn, will reradiate heat and mechanical energy into tissue surrounding the structure. In one example, the implanted structure is a stent and the vibrational energy is intended to inhibit hyperplasia in a blood vessel in which the stent is implanted. |
