ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention involves employing, in a vascular treatment device, a material which has a magnetic susceptibility which is heat sensitive. The vascular treatment device can then be heated remotely and non-invasively using an applied magnetic field, to a preselected temperature at which the vascular treatment device becomes substantially non-magnetically susceptible.
