Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effect of domestically-manufactured excimer laser with adjunctive balloon angioplasty in achieving revascularization and reduction of residual stenosis was assessed. 20 femoral arteries with thrombosis and occlusion from 12 dogs were subject to angiography. At first excimer laser angioplasty was done followed by balloon angioplasty. The diameter and residual stenosis of revascularized vessel were measured. The result showed that 17 out of 20 vessels (85%) were revascularized. The diameter of revascularized vessel by excimer laser were 1.22 +/- 0.14 mm, while residual stenoses were 54% +/- 5%. After adjunctive balloon angioplasty the diameter and residual stenoses were 2.04 +/- 0.16 mm and 20% +/- 7% respectively (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). Complication in form of vasoperforation occurred in 3/20 vessels (15%). It is concluded that China- manufactured excimer laser angioplasty is effective when used for revascularization. While the reduction of narrowing and residual stenoses was enhanced after adjunction of balloon angioplasty. This method can be employed in treating peripheral occlusive disease effectively and safely.
