Abstract
Introduction:
The procedure of laser atherectomy is a long-established adjunctive therapy in percutaneous vascular interventions. Initial studies were not promising due to similar or lower efficacy compared to conventional angioplasty and greater complication rate. However, the introduction of new, low-profile
catheters with high parameters of transmitted energy, a change in the procedure for performing angioplasty and the proper qualification of the lesions resulted in a reduction of adverse effects.
