Thermal laser angioplasty uses constant laser power, producing widely variable tip temperatures in vivo. Results have been suboptimal. We studied the effect of 50400°C tip temperatures on depth of ablation at 192 sites on plaqued and normal human aorta in vitro, and the angiographic and histologic r

Percutaneous laser thermal probe angioplasty requires sufficient laser probe flexibility to access the coronary tree. This may entail a loss of axial strength and the resultant slow advancement may lead to unwanted heating of the normal coronary artery proximal to the lesion. To assess the lateral t

Laser recanalization using metal capped fibers occurs by thermal vaporization of occluding plaque. However, little is known about the effects of blood and flow on the temperature of the laser probe or the arterial wall during lasing. To study this, probe and arterial wall temperatures were measured
