Abstract

This invention is a method of narrowing or occluding a blood vessel. The method includes the steps of obtaining an apparatus including a radiation source (14) for generating electromagnetic radiation output falling within a spectral range; at least one optical fiber (18) having a proximal end, and a distal end; the proximal end of the optical fiber (18) being optically coupled to the radiation source; inserting the distal end into the blood vessel; and internally irradiating the blood vessel with the electromagnetic radiation in an energy sufficient for causing blood coagulation within or wall shrinkage of the vessel.
