摘要：
An apparatus for efficient delivery of light to a target site in a human body wherein the apparatus includes a light source and at least one stent having a lumen defined longitudinally therethrough. The light source is disposed longitudinally within the lumen of the stent and/or on a surface of the stent. Also, a method for efficient delivery of phototherapy to the brain in the human body. A hole is drilled in the skull without penetrating dura matter in the brain. Each drilled hole is fitted with a transparent light conductor so that each light conductor fully penetrates the skull. Light emitted from a light source disposed on a first side exteriorly of the skull is transmitted through to an opposite side interiorly of the skull to a target site within the brain via the transparent light conductor.
