- Abstract:
- Experimental laser ablation of atheromatous plaques was performed with a bare quartz glass fiber, a metal probe, and a sapphire probe. The tissue response after irradiation with increasing energies was evaluated by means of light and scanning electron microscopy. Laser emission through the bare fiber caused a narrow, deep crater with an irregular surface surrounded by a zone of thermal necrosis. After tissue ablation with the metal probe, a disproportion between the small tissue defect and the large zone of thermal necrosis was observed. The largest tissue defect was vaporized by the sapphire contact probe. A small zone of thermal necrosis surrounded the laser crater.
