Use of excimer laser atherectomy for coronary angioplasty

Excimer laser atherectomy has been used for coronary intervention for more than 20 years. During this period of time has been

gradual development of the technology itself, enabling higher density energy delivery with lower heat production, leading to

higher efficiency along with improvements in the procedure safety and obviously to the original indication modification using this



method: Own experience with this technology is presented through a coronary angioplasty case report impossible to complete

using standard approach. Laser atherectomy maintains its specific role in the treatment of complex coronary lesions, particulary

in cases of standard procedure failure.

Keywords: laser atherectomy, complex coronary lesion
