Photoangioplasty with local motexafin lutetium delivery reduces macrophages in a rabbit post-balloon injury model.
Cardiovasc Res. 2001; (2): 449-55
Motexafin lutetium (Lu-Tex, Antrin Injection) is a photosensitizer that selectively accumulates in atheromatous plaque where it can be activated by far-red light. The localization and retention of intra-arterially administered Lu-Tex and its efficacy following activation by endovascularly delivered light (photoangioplasty) was evaluated.
