A tirst attempt to describe (coronary) laser angioplasty is presented using simplitied but standard optical and thermal modeling of tissue in interaction with a laser. Ablation behavior of blood thrombi and plaque ha,j been approximated from numerical computations for various wavelengths representin
The thermal properties of adipose and ceramic atherosclerotic plaque deposits and normal arterial vessel wall were measured in the temperature range of 25-95Β°C. In general, the data indicate that fatty plaques exhibit the lowest thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the three types, where
