Abstract
Contact laser thermal angioplasty with a metal hot tip heated by Nd-YAG laser system (Trimedyne Inc.) was performed on 18 arterial stenotic regions in 12 patients, and 13 arterial occulsive regions in 13 patients.
Intial angiographic and clinical success was achieved in 17 of 18 (94%) stenotic regions, 4 of 13 (31%) occulusiv regions.
It was satisfactory result that laser angioplasty was performed on short stenotic regions, but it was difficult that it was performed on long occulsive regions below superficial femoral artery.
