[A modified laser system for laser angioplasty using a sapphire tip].
This study deals with 26 patients on whom successful laser angioplasty of peripheral vascular occlusions had been carried out, using an Nd-YAG high energy laser system (100 watts) with a sapphire point. The technical requirements are presented and the primary success and complication rates in our material are discussed.
