Abstract:
Intravascular brachytherapy (IVB) to prevent restenosis is currently being performed using several different commercial delivery devices. The Novoste Beta-Cath system uses a source train of 90Sr/90Y pure beta emitters and two gold radiopaque markers. A nonactive transfer device with dummy sources is also supplied to test the delivery catheter. We have developed an alternate procedure using an acrylic shield to test both the active transfer device and delivery catheter prior to patient treatment.
