Abstract
A method for inhibiting restenosis includes applying cryogenic energy to a treatment site for a predetermined amount of time. In one embodiment, the treatment site, e.g., a region of an artery dilated by means of a balloon catheter, is cooled to a temperature of about minus fifty degrees Celsius for about two minutes. The application of cryogenic energy inhibits restenosis of the dilated region of the vessel.
