Abstract

A method of treating a blood vessel in a subject comprises the steps of advancing a catheter device comprising a deployable abrasive element distally across a treatment zone in the vessel, deploying the abrasive element into contact with the vessel wall, actuating the abrasive element to cause disruption of the vessel wall and exposure of subendothelial layers of the vessel wall at the treatment zone, infusing a sclerosant agent into the blood vessel via the catheter to contact and induce cellular necrosis in the exposed subendothelial layers of the vessel wall, recapturing the abrasive element by the catheter device, and withdrawing the catheter device from the vessel. The method may comprise an additional step of inducing vasospasm of the treatment zone of the vessel prior to disruption of the vessel wall by administering a stimulus to the vessel wall by the catheter device.
