The present invention provides a device (10), and methods of use thereof, for the targeted delivery of radiation in vivo. The therapeutic radiation delivered by the device (10) of the present invention can be used, for example, to prevent restenosis after angioplasty. The catheter device (10) of the present invention is especially suited for such treatment because it substantially aids in the delivery of radiation to an intravascular treatment site. In addition to delivering radiation emitting materials to an intravascular site, the present invention can also incorporate radiation shielding to increase the safety and accuracy of the delivery of the radiation emitting materials.
L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) permettant l'administration ciblée de rayonnements in vivo. L'invention concerne également des procédés relatifs à l'utilisation de ce dispositif (10). Par exemple, l'invention peut s'appliquer aux rayonnements thérapeutiques administrés via le dispositif, à titre préventif contre la resténose suite à une angioplastie. Le dispositif à cathéter (10) considéré est particulièrement approprié à ce type de traitement, car il contribue sensiblement à l'administration des rayonnements sur un site de traitement intravasculaire. Non seulement le dispositif en question permet d'administrer des matériaux émetteurs de rayonnement à un site intravasculaire, mais encore il peut incorporer un système de protection contre les rayonnements, de manière à accroître la sécurité et l'efficacité de l'administration des matériaux émetteurs de rayonnement.
