Endothelium Preserving Microwave Treatment for Atherosclerosis (MSC-22724)

Abstract:
Most energy is deposited with in the atherosclerotic lesion and little energy will pass into and beyond the adventitia because of rapid decay of the electromagnetic wave. Thermal conduction also maintains an acceptable temperature in the surrounding cell layers. Preservation of the endothelial cell layer is crucially important for preventing thrombotic, inflammatory, and proliferative processes that underlie the major complication of angioplastic procedures¿restenosis. Major components of the device include:


The millimeter / microwave power source, The catheter transmission line in the form of a waveguide or coaxial cable, and The antenna/ radiator located at the distal end
