Descriptor angioplastia por láser
Scope note: Técnica que utiliza un láser acoplado a un catéter que se utiliza en la dilatación de vasos sanguíneos ocluidos. Incluye la angioplastia térmica por láser, en la que la energía del láser calienta una punta metálica, y la angioplastia directa por láser, en la que la energía del láser elimina directamente la oclusión. Una forma de este último método utiliza un LÁSER EXCÍMERO, que crea cortes microscópicamente precisos sin producir lesión térmica. Se denomina ANGIOPLASTIA CON GLOBO ASISTIDA POR LÁSER a la angioplastia por láser en combinación con la angioplastia con globo.

Scope note: A technique utilizing a laser coupled to a catheter which is used in the dilatation of occluded blood vessels. This includes laser thermal angioplasty where the laser energy heats up a metal tip, and direct laser angioplasty where the laser energy directly ablates the occlusion. One form of the latter approach uses an EXCIMER LASER which creates microscopically precise cuts without thermal injury. When laser angioplasty is performed in combination with balloon angioplasty it is called laser-assisted balloon angioplasty (ANGIOPLASTY, BALLOON, LASER-ASSISTED).
