title = "Dose-dependent smooth muscle cell proliferation induced by thermal injury with pulsed infrared lasers",
abstract = "Pulsed infrared laser irradiation induced localized thermal lesions in arteries by transiently heating to ∼30°C above ambient and subsequent SMC proliferation in rabbits by 3-4 weeks. Neointimal proliferation exhibited a clear dose dependence both as laser fluence was increased (R=0.83) and for a fixed surface irradiation as the depth of the nearest arterial media was decreased (R=0.95). Thermal injury to the arterial wall is shown to be potent stimulus for SMC proliferation, favoring reduction in energies used in laser or thermal angioplasty.",
