Abstract :
In summary, this observational study shows that combined laser and balloon angioplasty of chronic coronary artery occlusions is feasible and safe, with an acute procedure result of 89%, which is, however, not maintained over the long term. It must be established if adjunctive stent placement achieves improved long-term clinical outcome.
