β¦ Synopsis
Platelet aggregation may be an important factor in the feasibility of transcatheter laser angioplasty. The in vitro effects of increasing doses of CO, laser irradiation on platelet number, function, and surface ultrastructure were examined. Results indicated a progressive doseresponse reduction of both platelet number and function following laser irradiation. By scanning electron microscopy the irradiated platelets showed dose-related changes in pseudopods as well as progressive damage of the cell membrane.
