ABSTRACT:
Ultraviolet radiation can be used to treat vascular diseases. In particular, for unstable lesions where angioplasty may not be warranted, cytotoxic, nonablative ultraviolet radiation, preferably at a wavelength in the range of about 240 to about 280 nanometers, can be used to disable the intima and reduce spasms associated with partially occluded blood vessels.
