Using continuous wave (CW) argon ion laser light, a total of 253 laser exposures of varying power (1.5, 3,5,8 or 10 w) and duration (20-1333 ms) were delivered to four segments of human atheromatous aorta obtained at autopsy. Exposure conditions were controlled by using an optically shielded laser c
