Laser/balloon thermal angioplasty has proven to be a valuable adjunct in our management of peripheral vascular disease. The initial trials have produced a 77% success rate, a 3% incidence of complications, and no morbidity. Patient acceptance has been high and the return to prior activities in less than 1 week is an appreciated advantage. Laser/balloon angioplasty expands the armamentarium of the vascular surgeon and makes possible broader applications of standard vascular surgical techniques.
激光/球囊热血管成形术已被证明是我们治疗周围血管疾病的一种有价值的辅助手段。初步试验的成功率为77%，并发症发生率为3%，且无发病率。患者接受度很高，不到1周即可恢复先前活动是一个值得赞赏的优势。激光/球囊血管成形术扩展了血管外科医生的手术器械库，并使标准血管外科技术的更广泛应用成为可能。
