Methods, apparatus, and kits detect and/or treat vulnerable plaque (102) of a blood vessel (100). A temperature differential can be sensed along a lumen surface with temperature sensors on a balloon (22) filled with warm gas. Treatment methods include controlled and safe cryogenic cooling of vulnerable plaque to inhibit release of retained fluid within the vulnerable plaque so as to inhibit acute coronary syndrome and to help maintain patency of a body lumen.

L'invention concerne des procédés, un appareil et des nécessaires qui permettent de détecter et/ou de traiter la plaque vulnérable d'un vaisseau sanguin. Une différence de température peut être détectée le long d'une surface d'une lumière, à l'aide de capteurs thermiques disposés sur un ballonnet rempli de gaz chaud. Les méthodes de traitement comprennent un refroidissement cryogénique régulé et sûr de la plaque vulnérable inhibant la libération du fluide retenu à l'intérieur de la plaque vulnérable, de façon à inhiber le syndrome coronaire aigu et à contribuer à maintenir la perméabilité d'une lumière corporelle.
