A method to inhibit the development of intimal hyperplasia following vascular intervention procedures (angioplasty) is disclosed. The method consists essentially of administering a green porphyrin to the subject concurrent with and following the angioplasty. No purposeful irradiation with light absorbed by the green porphyrin is required or employed in the method.
