## Background and objective: Spectroscopic guidance of laser angioplasty has been attempted using a diagnostic he-cd laser in addition to the therapeutic laser system. this study evaluated a single-laser approach for simultaneous ablation and fluorescence excitation. ## Study design/materials and
Despite expectations that excimer laser ablation would result in a low incidence of coronary dissection, studies have documented a 15-20% incidence of dissection (including a 4-67'0 incidence of clinically significant dissection) during excimer interventions. This investigation sought to determine i
