It had been theorized that the high rate of restenosis seen following balloon angioplasty could be decreased if the obstruction could be removed rather than simply pushed aside. It was proposed that pulsed lasers could be used to remove arterial obstructions. The purpose of this chapter is to present the theory and practice of pulsed laser ablation of tissue in light of the important and interesting therapeutic goal: removal of arterial obstructions.
