Abstract
Background: Vascular restenosis due to intimal hyperplasia (IH) and negative vascular remodeling attenuates long-term patency of vascular interventions like PT(C)As. A new adjuvant approach to PT(C)A is endovascular PDT, which is based on local cytotoxicity by intracellular activation of aminolevulinic acid included protoporfyrin IX with laser. Aim: To prevent restenosis by inhibiting IH with endovascular photodynamic therapy. Methods: Male Wistar rats were subdivided into four groups, the sham group, the IH reference-group with PTA induced denudation of the right iliac artery, and both the PTA+light only group and PTA +PDT group illuminated at 0,12.5, 25 and 50 Joule per cm diffuser length applied at 100 mW per cm diffuser length. Results: IH increased from 0 02 at 1 week to 0.13 mm2 at 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, IH was 0.14mm2 in the PTA +LO group compared to 0.002 mm2 in the PTA+PDT group at 50 Joule per cm diffuser length, whereas the media remained. Conclusion: A single endovascular PDT treatment adjuvant to PTA inhibits IH after 4 weeks at an optimal light dosimetry of 50 Joules per cm diffuser length and 3 hours after ALA application in this IH model. Therefore, endovascular PDT is a promising therapy to prevent restenosis after vascular interventions.
