Percutaneous coronary laser angioplasty was performed in one patient with total occlusion of right coronary artery without further balloon angioplasty in the ablated site. First of all, we used intracoronary urokinase in a total amount of 60,000 units that resulted in opening the total occluded right coronary artery to provide a passage of guidewire of laser catheter. Then a laser catheter was inserted through the guide catheter and its metal cap was in contact with the atherosclerotic lesion. The Nd:YAG laser was activated to vaporize the lesion (total energies of 54 J). Finally, the degree of residual stenosis was reduced from 95% to 20%. Percutaneous coronary laser angioplasty is a new method in treating coronary artery disease, yet it is still in its infant stage and further work is needed to develop this technological procedure.
