Effects of the combination of low-level laser therapy and anionic polymer membranes on bone repair.

abstract：:Excimer laser recanalisation of in-stent restenosis may be a viable modality for improving coronary patency. However, the presence of arterial stents modifies the thermal properties of the irradiated area and may alter temperature patterns generated during ablation. The goal of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, te...
