Laser-Induced Shock Wave Angioplasty: Discrimination Between Calcified and Other Plaque Material Before Generation of Laser-Induced Shock Waves

  • Conference paper
Frontiers in European Radiology

Part of the book series: Frontiers in European Radiology ((FER,volume 8))

Abstract

Percutaneous dilatation of stenotic vessels was first reported by Dotter [1] in 1964. Gruntzig’s [2] balloon angioplasty is employed daily in interventional radiological centers. The results in complete obstructions longer than 5 cm are discouraging. The results are negatively correlated with length, degree of calcification, and duration of the occlusion.
