“…Several groups have now developed light delivery devices to achieve uniform output illumination. It was concluded that those new devices can be used clinically to deliver light to the uterine cavity (166,167). Further studies are required to determine the safety of this technique for nontarget tissues that bind the photosensitizer, and whether endometrial regeneration will be prevented.…”

“…In this context, a deformable balloon is expected to meet this requirement. Several devices have been designed for this purpose in the past, such as an inflatable balloon with different light sources [18][19][20][21][22] , an optical fiber coupled to a reflector, or a laser light source coupled to the surgical microscope, enabling a step by step illumination 23 . Moseley et al described the only clinical study using 5-ALA as a precursor for the treatment of GBM with PDT 20,21 .…”

“…Generally, however, radial/cylindrical diffusers offer an interesting way to deliver intravascular illumination for the treatment of acute coronary syndromes and regional atherosclerosis, especially for plaque stabilization, as opposed to plaque ablation. As these 10‐ to 40‐mm‐long cylindrical light‐emitting distributors are frequently introduced in the treated vessel through a catheter, caution must be exercised to ensure that the illumination profile of the diffuser is not modified by the catheter's material . Similar caution must be exercised when the light distributor is centered within the vessel's lumen with an inflatable balloon.…”
