Clinical experience with the use of laser radiation energy in the treatment of atherosclerosis.

The authors present their three-year experience with the use of their own method of laser angioplasty, called transluminal laser atherolysis, in 59 patients with various atherosclerotic vascular lesions. This low-intensity laser energy treatment was used alone or as adjunct to other endovascular surgical interventions. Early postoperative results were favourable in 82% of patients; in 20 patients followed-up for 2 years, the long-term results were satisfactory in 78%. The probable mechanisms involved in the beneficial effect of transluminal laser atherolysis are discussed.
