Acute biological response to laser balloon angioplasty in the atherosclerotic rabbit.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Optical microangiography (OMAG) is a noninvasive technique capable of imaging 3D microvasculature. OMAG-based optical lymphangiography has been developed for 3D visualization of lymphatic vessels without the need for exogenous contrast agents. In this study, we utilize the optical lymphangiogr...
