Endovascular photodynamic therapy (EPT), an adjunctive treatment modality to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), was described. It is based on a light induced photobiochemical reaction of an accumulated photosensitizer in the artery. The results prove that EPT with 5-ALA inhibits balloon induced intimal hyperplasia effectively and is a promising adjuvant option in preventing intimal hyperplasia induced restenosis.
