A new concept for a realtime feedback system in angioplasty with a flashlamp pumped dye laser.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:In coupling laser with micromanipulator through fiberoptics, the resulting diameter of the spot is limited by the laws of geometrical optics, because of the high numerical aperture (N.A.) of fiberoptic radiation. A new method for the reduction of spot size diameter is suggested. STUDY DESIGN/M...
