Abstract
Various systems, and methods are provided for transporting a therapeutic agent to the interior of a skeletal support structure. In one implementation, a first expandable structure has a second expandable structure disposed within the first expandable structure. Furthermore, the first and second expandable structures are configured to expand a void in a skeletal support structure and to receive a radiation source between the first and second expandable structures.
