%X Vascular smooth muscle cells play a critical role in the intimal hyperplasia of restenosis. A previous study of a rat balloon injury model demonstrated that photodynamic therapy (PDT) using indocyanine green (ICG) and near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation reduced intimal hyperplasia in carotid arteries. However, the effect of ICG-PDT on smooth muscle cells remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of PDT with ICG and NIR irradiation on the viability of vascular smooth muscle (A-10) cells
