Experimental Background Preceding Direct Laser-Assisted Angioplasty in the Human Coronary Anatomy
AUTOR(ES)
Nordstrom, Leonard A.
RESUMO
The central question that faces coronary laser investigators is whether interaction between laser energy and target tissues can be controlled in a dynamic in vivo environment. In considering this question, the author reviews the in vitro and in vivo experiments that his center carried out before it began using laser angioplasty for clinical coronary applications.
