Title
Acute and follow-up results of laser angioplasty : Single center experience
Abstract
Excimer laser angioplasty was used to treat total occluded coronary arteries and instent restenosis lesions with high success rate. To assess immediate and long-term results of patients treated with excimer laser, we analyzed demographic information and the immediate results of 44 patients who underwent ELCA. The patients were followed up and assessed for clinical restenosis. The initial success rate of ELCA was 86.4 per cent which is comparable to plain balloon angioplasty performed during the same period. Clinical restenosis was 29 per cent. In conclusion, ELCA for patients with coronary artery disease can be performed with initial high success rate and reasonable long-term restenosis.
