What is Laser balloon angioplasty: Effect of exposure duration on shear strength of welded layers of postmortem human aorta about?
Laser Balloon Angioplasty (LBA) is a technique that may improve the results of balloon angioplasty by thermally sealing arterial dissections and reducing elastic recoil. To define the relationship between laserexposure duration and the strength of thermal welds made between separated layers of arterial wall, 360 1-cm discs of human postmortem aorta were lased for six different exposure intervals at three different temperature ranges, comparing shear strength of thermal welds in the different groups. Twenty discs were lased to achieve plateau adventitial temperatures of 95"C-l04"C (group A), 105"C-l14"C (group B), or 115°C-124°C (group C) at each of the exposure periods (5,10, 15,20,25, and 30 sec). A 400-pm fiberoptic coupled to a 1.06 pm continuous wave neodymium:YAG laser was placed perpendicularly 8 mm above the luminal surface of each disc, which had been split midway between the intimal and adventitial surface and reapposed. Mean laser energy ranged 78- 378 J delivered in a decremental stepwise fashion to achieve quickly and maintain the target plateau tissue temperature. Mean weld strength increased in relation to both achieved tissue temperature and laserexposure duration, w
