Abstract

The holmium laser (Thulium-Holmium-Chromium: yttrium-aluminum garnet [YAG]laser) system was recently introduced for the treatment of atherosclerotic peripheral arterial and coronary artery lesions.^1-6 This pulsed mid-infrared laser (2.1 μm) ablates atherosclerotic tissue without significant thermal damage to adjacent tissue.^2,3,6,7 This study was designed to test the hypothesis that delivery characteristics of and tissue sensitivities to holmium laser energy make it a feasible treatment option in patients with acute myocardial infarction, with thrombosis and atherosclerotic plaque. In this report, we provide data on the first 3 cases of direct laserassisted balloon angioplasty during an acute myocardial infarction.
