PHOTOCHEMICAL TREATMENT OF BLOOD VESSELS Abstract of the Disclosure A method for treating blood vessels to destroy the blood vessel without damaging surrounding tissue. The method involves introducing a photoreactive compound into the blood flowing through the blood vessel and allowing the photoreactive compound to accumulate in the blood vessel wall. The photoreactive compound is activated by exposure to radiation prior to accumulation of the reactive compound into surrounding tissues. The activation of the photoreactive compound prior to movement into surrounding tissues provides selective destruction of blood vessels while limiting destruction of surrounding tissues.
