Abstract

We present the results of 15 XeCl laser coronary artery endarterectomies performed in 13 patients during CABG surgery. The results are very encouraging but they show that the development of new and more efficient laser catheter delivery systems with a better proportion of optical active surface at the distal tip of the multifibre catheters is necessary to reduce the longterm and mid-term rates of restenosis.
