• 3. ≥ 2 weeks since last dose of a small molecule targeted agent (Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor or similar)
• 4. ≥ 6 weeks from last dose of last intravenous bevacizumab infusion, or other antibody-based VEGF therapy
• 11. If receiving steroids, patient should be on a stable or decreasing dose equivalent to dexamethasone ≤ 6 mg/d, for at least 7 days prior to registration
• 12. Have adequate organ and bone marrow function within 14 days prior to registration, as defined below:
• 1. INR ≤ 1.2 (in absence of anticoagulation)
• 2. Platelets ≥ 100,000/L
• 3. Creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL
• 4. Absolute Neutrophil Count ≥1.5 x 10\^9/L
• 5. Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL
• 13. Have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days prior to registration on study (for FOCBP, female of child-bearing potential)
• 14. Subject is a male or non-pregnant female. If female of child-bearing potential, and if sexually active must be using, or agree to use, a medically acceptable method of birth control as confirmed by the investigator
• 15. Angiographic Mapping
• 1. Have bilateral gadolinium enhancing disease, tumor located in the posterior fossa, tumor involving critical subcortical structures (thalamus/hypothalamus, midbrain, brainstem, corticospinal tract, internal capsule, cerebral peduncle), tumor approximating or invading the brainstem and/or optic chiasma, leptomeningeal disease, or extracranial metastatic disease
• 2. Have received more than 1 course of prior cranial radiotherapy (EBRT)
• 3. Have received radiosurgery, brachytherapy, or hypofractionated radiotherapy
• 4. Have received more than 2 systemic treatment protocols (lines of treatment), not including maintenance temozolomide
• 5. Have received prior intra-arterial cerebral infusion therapy
• 6. Have received more than 2 surgical GBM-related procedures
• 7. Have received prior thoracic radiation therapy
• 8. Are at increased risk of wound dehiscence by the discretion of the investigators (e.g. brain surgery within the last 3 months, poor skin condition, and/or previously infected surgical field or any other condition that is of increased infectious risk in the opinion of the neurosurgeon)
• 9. Have uncontrolled epilepsy
• 10. Have severe and/or insufficiently controlled intercurrent illness; patients with the following are not eligible:
• 1. Hypertension grade 3 or higher without adequate control on medications
• 2. Symptomatic or unstable cardiac disease, known to have right-to-left shunts, or severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery pressure \> 90 mmHg)
• 3. Pulmonary insufficiency (arterial oxygen pressure (Pa,O2) of \< 60 mmHg, or oxygen saturation (Sa,O2) of \< 90%) as measured by fingertip pulse oximeter
• 4. Ongoing or active bacterial or viral infection requiring systemic treatment (including HIV)
• 5. Pneumonitis
• 6. Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
• 7. Peripheral Neuropathy ≥ grade 1
• 8. Any other illness or condition that the treating investigator feels would interfere with study compliance or would compromise the patient's safety, study endpoints or longevity
• 11. Are currently pregnant or breast feeding (unless patient agrees to stop breastfeeding)
• 12. Patients with a history of an active other malignancy within 1 year prior to registration. NOTE: Exceptions to this requirement include adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna or carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease, or recurrent glioblastoma
• 13. Patients with a history of ischemic cerebral disease and/or at risk of cerebral herniation
• 14. Medical contraindication to undergo contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• 15. Known history of hypersensitivity reactions to iodinated and/or gadolinium-based contrast
• 16. Subject has received any other investigational agents within 4 weeks of treatment, or is currently participating, or plans to participate in, another investigational trial that may confound the results of this trial (unless written approval is received from the Boston Scientific study team)
• 17. Angiographic Mapping
