摘要: The application of laser energy for treatment obstructive vascular disease was made possible by the availability small (<0.5 mm) optical fibers adaptable into standard catheters. During past 5–7 years, catheter systems evolved from a bare silica fiber to more complex designs. This chapter will describe different and, when possible, comments investigators involved in their clinical application.
