Abstract

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used to inhibit intimal hyperplasia in injured arteries. Because of the limited tissue penetration of visible light, an endovascular light source with a guided wire is often required for effective treatment. Indocyanine green (ICG), a near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizer, has been used in PDT for cancers. An extracorporeal light source may be used for shallow tissue because of the better tissue penetration of NIR light. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ICG-PDT using extracorporeal NIR light on the inhibition of intimal hyperplasia in balloon-injured carotid arteries. A balloon injury (BI) model was used to induce intimal hyperplasia of carotid artery. Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into control, BI, BI + 1 × PDT, and BI + 2 × PDT groups. The control group underwent a sham procedure. PDT was performed 7 days after BI. In the BI + 1 × PDT group, ICG was administered 1 h before light irradiation. External illumination with 780-nm light-emitting diode light at a fluence of 4 J/cm² was applied. For the BI + 2 × PDT group, PDT was performed again at day 7, following the first PDT. Hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining was performed to assess vessel morphology. Arterial wall thickness was significantly larger in the BI group compared with the control group. ICG-PDT significantly reduced arterial wall thickness compared with the BI group. Repeated PDT further decreased arterial wall thickness to the level of the control group. These findings indicate a promising approach for the treatment of restenosis of carotid arteries.
