The ablation of atherosclerotic lesions without collateral thermal or shock wave damage is thought to be a key element for successful laser angioplasty. This study evaluated the effectiveness of pulsed ho1mium:YAG laser (2.1 pm wavelength) for this application. Fresh normal tissue (n = 139) and arte

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The pulse dye laser (PDL) is a wellβestablished treatment for port wine stains (PWSs) and is generally accepted to be safe, effective, and results in fading in the majority of patients. Significant side effects such as scarring are extremely rare. To date u
## Abstract ## Background and Objective High intensity infrared light from the pulsed Nd:YAG dental laser is absorbed by carious enamel and not absorbed by healthy enamel. Consequently, this system has potential for selective removal of surface enamel caries. Safety and efficacy of the clinical pr
Angioma serpiginosum (AS) is a rare vascular naevoid disorder due to ectatic dilation of capillaries in the papillary dermis. The condition is found almost exclusively in females who have grouped erythematous punctate lesions usually on the lower limbs or buttocks, which may be unsightly. We report
