Abstract

In laser ablation, laser is delivered through a fluid-filled balloon positioned against the tissue to minimize lasing into blood, which has a potential risk of thrombus since laser is absorbed by blood (heating blood). The purpose of this study was to determine the risk of thrombus during laser ablation in fields of stagnant blood or pulsatile blood using an endoscopic laser balloon catheter (ELBC, CardioFocus) in a canine model.
