Angiographic observations 10 years following coronary laser balloon angioplasty.
A patient underwent laser balloon angioplasty (LBA) combined with local intracoronary heparin therapy for treatment of a high grade stenosis of the mid-portion of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Sustained patency of the LBA-treated lesion and no new coronary stenoses were found in a 10-year angiographic follow-up study.
