To avoid use of the GW port and its associated complications a dedicated third port and lumen for the Lumi-Solve fibre-optic may be required. To maximize balloon surface chemical and biological photo-activation, non-parallel, intra-balloon, fibre-optic lumen trajectories, including a spiral design may be useful.
