Lasers have been advocated to resect atherosclerotic plaques in the cardiovascular system, yet little information is available regarding the effects of laser on the range of occlusive lesions seen in the peripheral arterial tree. This study was conducted to assess the risk of perforation in human ca

Precise targeting of laser energy to atherosclerotic plaque is crucial for the safe performance of laser angioplasty. The present study was designed to evaluate whether laser-induced fluorescence could distinguish atherosclerotic from normal aorta. Segments of human aorta obtained at necropsy were c
## Abstract Laser balloon angioplasty with Nd:YAG energy has been proposed as a method to seal intimal dissection and prevent elastic recoil after balloon angioplasty. To better define the vessel response to laser balloon angioplasty, its effects on luminal diameter, Indiumβ111 labelled platelet de
Using continuous wave (CW) argon ion laser light, a total of 253 laser exposures of varying power (1.5, 3,5,8 or 10 w) and duration (20-1333 ms) were delivered to four segments of human atheromatous aorta obtained at autopsy. Exposure conditions were controlled by using an optically shielded laser c
A review was conducted to determine specific areas of application of the argon laser to dentistry. When appropriate, comparisons between the argon laser and other treatment methods were made. It was concluded that the argon laser has applicability in composite resin placement, in enamel and dentin b
## Background and objective: Polymerization of dental resins with argon laser produces restorations with improved physical properties when compared to conventional visible-light polymerization techniques. however, the possibility of damaging adjacent soft tissues has not been addressed. ## Study d
