Percutaneous Excimer Laser Angioplasty In Humans

A clinical trial was performed to study the efficacy of the percutaneous excimer laser angioplasty system and to develop and modify the technique and equipment for this system. Follow-up data on the treated patients was obtained and long-term results for different anatomic subgroups were studied.
