Laser coronary angioplasty: will it ever become a therapy of choice?

ROBERT F. BONNER

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Laser coronary angioplasty requires plaque ablation while sparing a thin muscle wall in tortuous moving vessels. The choice of laser, fiber optic catheter design, and its guidance are all critical. Plaque removal without lasers may be simpler or more effective.
