[Laser angioplasty: effect of laser energy on human coronary arteries].
An experimental study of rationed action of laser emission energy (LEE) on human coronary arteries (autopsy specimens) identified major aspects of LEE interaction with biological tissues of atherosclerotically-affected vessels under "dry" and "wet" conditions. An impulse laser with a 1.06 micron wave-length was used as the LEE source. The results suggest that controlled LEE action on atherosclerotically-affected vessels for recanalization purposes (laser angioplasty) may prove a promising approach to the treatment of cardiovascular occlusions.
