Abstract

Application of lasers to vaporize coronary atherosclerotic obstruction was initially described in 1981.¹ Since then, the technique has been applied clinically to coronary arteries on an experimental basis.² This report objectively describes successful long-term laser recanalization using a catheter containing a laser-heated metal cap³ in a patient with severe end-stage peripheral vascular disease.
