The effect of a domestically manufactured excimer laser performed operation together with adujunctive balloon angioplasty in achieving revascularization and reduction of residual stenosis was assessed. 20 femoral arteries with thrombosis and occlusion from 10 dogs were subjected to angiography. At first an excimer laser angioplasty was done followed by the balloon angioplasty. The diameters and residual stenosis of revascularized vessels were measured. The result showed that 17 out of 20 vessels (85%) were revascularized. The typical diameter of the revascularized vessels after excimer laser treatment was 1.20±0.14 mm, while residual stenoses were 54%±5%. After an adjunctive balloon angioplasty the diameter and residual stenoses were 2.04±0.16 mm and 20%±7% respectively (P<0.05 and P<0.01). Complication in a form of vasoperforation occurred in 3/20 vessels (15%). It is concluded that China-manufactured excimer laser angioplasty is effective when used for revascularization. The reduction of narrowing and residual stenoses was enhanced after adjunction of the balloon angioplasty. It would be expected that this method can be employed in treating peripheral occlusive disease effectively and safely.
