## Abstract ## Background The energy emitted by ultraviolet laser is avidly absorbed in atherosclerotic plaques. Conceptually, it could be applied for debulking of selected atherosclerotic renal artery stenoses. We describe early experience with revascularization of critical renal artery lesions d

Technologies which ablate or debulk tissue may result in better angiographic outcomes by altering the elastic properties of the vessel wall. Accordingly, the procedural outcomes of 88 vein graft lesions treated by either excimer laser angioplasty with adjunct balloon angioplasty (PELCA + PTCA, n = 4
## 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
