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

Tissue effects of the mid-IR Holmium laser (emitting at a wavelength of 2130nm) were evaluated. This wavelength is attractive because it combines high water absorption and easy transmission through standard optical fibres. The laser was pulsed with pulse durations in the range of 100psec and repetit
