The authors present their three-year experience with the use of their own method of laser angioplasty, called transluminal laser atherolysis, in 59 patients with various atherosclerotic vascular lesions. This low-intensity laser energy treatment was used alone or as adjunct to other endovascular surgical interventions. Early postoperative results were favourable in 82% of patients; in 20 patients followed-up for 2 years, the long-term results were satisfactory in 78%. The probable mechanisms involved in the beneficial effect of transluminal laser atherolysis are discussed.
作者介绍了他们运用自己的激光血管成形术方法（即腔内激光动脉粥样硬化斑块消融术）治疗59例各种动脉粥样硬化性血管病变患者的三年经验。这种低强度激光能量治疗可单独使用，也可作为其他血管内外科干预措施的辅助手段。术后早期结果显示，82%的患者情况良好；在20例接受了2年随访的患者中，78%的患者长期结果令人满意。文中还讨论了腔内激光动脉粥样硬化斑块消融术产生有益效果可能涉及的机制。
