The present invention relates to methods for selectively targeting Photodynamic Therapy (“PDT”) to inflammatory components of vulnerable plaques. As such, the present invention provides methods for the identification of vulnerable plaques, using fluorescent compositions, which include photosensitizer compoisitions, and/or radiolabeled compounds, as well as methods to treat vulnerable plaques by selectively targeting and/or eliminating the inflammatory components of vulnerable plaques.
本发明涉及选择性地将光动力疗法("PDT")靶向易损斑块的炎症成分的方法。因此,本发明提供了使用荧光组合物(包括光敏剂组合物和/或放射性标记化合物)识别易损斑块的方法,以及通过选择性靶向和/或消除易损斑块的炎症成分来治疗易损斑块的方法。
