Abstract
Laser angioplasty has the potential to be a treatment for coronary artery disease. Currently, one of the main problems with this approach is uncontrolled damage to the vessel wall including perforation. Therefore, real-time diagnostic techniques such as tissue autofluorescence analysis, which could Indicate when laser application should be terminated, are highly desirable.
