Definition
English
:
A technique utilizing a laser coupled to a
catheter
which is used in the
dilatation
of occluded
blood vessels
. This includes laser thermal
angioplasty
where the laser
energy
heats up a metal tip, and direct laser
angioplasty
where the laser
energy
directly ablates the occlusion. One form of the latter approach uses an EXCIMER LASER which creates microscopically precise cuts without thermal injury. When laser
angioplasty
is performed in combination with balloon
angioplasty
it is called laser-assisted balloon
angioplasty
(
ANGIOPLASTY
, BALLOON, LASER-ASSISTED).
