Abstract

Human atherosclerotic xenograft arteries implanted in five mongrel dogs were subjected to in‐traluminal angioplasty using CO2 laser radiation. CO2 laser energy was delivered through a silver halide fiber, 0.9 mm in diameter and 100 cm long, inserted into a 6 Fr angiographic catheter. Results indicated that the technique is feasible, relatively simple and may have a low potential for perforation. (J Interven Cardiol 1989:2:1)
