✦ Synopsis

~Dne role of thrombosis in acute myocardial infarction and unstable ischemic coronary syndromes is well documented [1][2][3]. Revascularization of thrombotic, occluded coronary vessels can be achieved by pharmacologic therapy [4,5], balloon angioplasty [6], transluminal extractional catheter [7], low-frequency ultrasound [8], and coronary artery bypass surgery [9]. Recently, lasers have been introduced as a means of optical thrombolysis [10,11]. Most clinical and basic research data on the application of lasers in this setting is based on in vivo and in vitro studies conducted with an investigational, pulsed-wave, mid-infrared holmium: YAG system. This editorial focuses on current status of holmium laser application for coronary thrombolysis.

## Abstract A new solid‐state laser system was used in a case of saphenous vein graft occlusion untreatable by standard very low‐profile balloon angioplasty. The 2100 nm infrared pulsed thulium/holmium:YAG laser successfully recanalized an obtuse marginal bypass graft without complications. The hol
