In search of the optimized excimer laser angioplasty system.
E xcimer laser coronary angioplasty has emerged as a useful therapy for selected patients with complex coronary artery disease. More than 5,000 patients worldwide have undergone excimer laser procedures with systems from three manufacturers.1,2 The laser operating characteristics and delivery catheter design vary significantly, and clinical study protocols were not equivalent. Data obtained on ...

متن کاملCoronary excimer laser angioplasty: reduced complications and indium-111 platelet accumulation compared with thermal laser angioplasty.
The relative safety and thrombogenicity of pulsed excimer and thermal laser angioplasty systems were compared in 20 normal coronary artery segments in a total of seven pigs. Using similar over the wire catheter systems and laser delivery periods of 3 to 5 s, thermal laser angioplasty was achieved with a 1.3 mm metal probe heated with 10 W of continuous argon laser energy and excimer laser angio...

متن کاملRandomised trial of excimer laser angioplasty versus balloon angioplasty for treatment of obstructive coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Excimer laser coronary angioplasty is reported to give excellent procedural results for treatment of complex coronary lesions, but this method has not been compared with balloon angioplasty in a randomised trial. METHODS Patients (n = 308) with stable angina and coronary lesions longer than 10 mm on visual assessment were included. 151 patients (158 lesions) were assigned randomly ...
