Abstract

We performed morphological examination of intact and atherosclerotic aortic regions after laser irradiation with various characteristics (wavelength and energy). Particular attention was given to the type of damages to the vascular wall around craters formed by the laser beam. Combined irradiation with UV and visible lights produced least pronounced damages to surrounding tissues in the aortic wall.
