Abstract :
Introduction: In recent years, there has been a rise in laser therapy for the treatment of cardiovascular
diseases.
Methods: This paper attempted to represent recent advances in laser therapy in cardiovascular tissue
repairs. Three standard techniques have been explicitly described here in cardiovascular tissue
repairs by laser.
Results: One of the advantages of using laser therapy in cardiovascular diseases is its non-
invasiveness. It also reduces the treatment process pain and prevents massive surgical incisions
and bleeding throughout the operation. Laser therapy can ensure an alternative method to treat the
ischemic region of the heart and creating anastomosis of vessels.
Conclusion: With professional technologies and endoscopic surgery method development, the role
of using lasers has become much more precise and more transparent in cardiovascular diseases.
