“…21 Also, Dr. Miyoshi et al indeed recently presented an abstract to the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions demonstrating that after intra-venous injection of the photo-sensitizer talaporfin and introduction of an intra-cardiac Laser light delivery catheter, a cavo-tricuspid isthmus conduction block is readily obtained. 22 However, it should be noted that in these studies, PDT was not targeted and damage likely occurred in all cardiac cell types in the region illuminated. In addition, the fact that talaporfin non-specifically binds to all organs, including the skin, would hamper clinical applicability, as talaporfin skin deposition may lead to sunburn sun exposure.…”
