METHODS: ELCA was performed in 20 patients of instent restenosis. All patients were symptomatic and had class III-IV angina. ELCA was performed with the Spectranetics CVX-300 System. The laser catheter of Vittesse C (concentric) and E (eccentric) with diameter of 1.4-2.0 mm was used. RESULTS: Laser catheter crossed all stenotic stents without difficulty. The lesion length was 4.6-51.2 mm, mean 20.7 +/- 13.7 mm, including 14 lesions > 10 mm. Laser treatment alone increased minimal lumen diameter (MLD) from 0.3 +/- 0.3 mm to 1.4 +/- 0.3 mm (P展开更多

At first excimer laser angioplasty was done followed by balloon angioplasty. The diameter and residual stenosis of revascularized vessel were measured. The result showed that 17 out of 20 vessels (85 %) were revascularized. The diameter of revascularized vessel by excimer laser were 1. 22±0.14 mm,while residual stenoses were 54 %±5%. After adjunctive balloon angioplasty the diameter and residual stenoses were 2. 04±0. 16 mm and 20 %±7 %respectively (P<0. 05 and P<0. 01), Complication in form of vasoperforation occurred in 3/20 vessels (15%). It is concluded that China-manufactured excimerlaser angioplasty is effective when used for revascularization. While the reduction of narrowing and residual stenoses was enhanced after adjunction of balloon angioplasty. This method can be employed in treating peripheral occlusive disease effectively and safely.展开更多
