A low-attenuation guide wire (not numbered) for use in combination with a radiation device (not numbered) for intravascular ionizing radiation therapy. The distal region (14) of the guide wire (not numbered) is less attenuating to ionizing radiation than the proximal region (12) and may be disposed adjacent the radiation emitting portion of the radiation device without significantly compromising the emission of radiation. Thus, the guide wire does not need to be removed or retracted in order to effectively deliver ionizing radiation to the vascular target site.

La présente invention concerne un fil-guide à faible atténuation (non numéroté) utilisé en association avec un radiodispositif (non numéroté) de radiothérapie ionisante intravasculaire. La partie distale (14) de ce fil-guide (non numéroté) atténue moins les rayonnements ionisants que la partie proximale (12) et peut être positionnée près de la partie émettant des rayons de ce radiodispositif sans compromettre sensiblement l'émission des rayons. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire de retirer ou de rétracter ce fil-guide pour délivrer efficacement des rayonnements ionisants sur le site cible vasculaire.
