Laser angioplasty, one of the most recent advances in the field of intervential cardiology, has developed with the aim of reducing restenosis after revascularization. This volume covers the applications and techniques of all lasers used for coronary angioplasty. It includes scientific principles of lasers, types of lasers and delivery systems, available treatment options, case studies, and safety and regulatory issues.
