In 2012, the team members were honored with National Medal of Technology and Innovation by the President Barack Obama for their work related to the excimer laser. [47] Robert Ginsburg deployed the first used of excimer laser coronary angioplasty in 1984 on a patient with severe stenosis of the deep femoral artery and a threatened limb. [48]
Atherectomy is a minimally invasive technique for removing atherosclerosis from blood vessels within the body. It is an alternative to angioplasty for the treatment of peripheral artery disease , but the studies that exist are not adequate to determine whether it is superior to angioplasty. [ 1 ]
An excimer laser, sometimes more correctly called an exciplex laser, is a form of ultraviolet laser which is commonly used in the production of microelectronic devices, semiconductor based integrated circuits or "chips", eye surgery, and micromachining.
The Philips laser catheter integrates two critical PAD treatments into a single device, significantly simplifying the treatment workflow – atherectomy to remove atherosclerotic plaque from the internal surface of an artery, and intravascular lithotripsy to modify calcium deposits within the artery or disrupt calcium deposits in the artery wall.
In neurosurgery, excimer laser-assisted non-occlusive anastomosis (ELANA) is a technique used to create a bypass without interrupting the patient's blood supply. The technique reduces the risk of stroke and aneurysm rupture. [1] ELANA is similar to other cerebral bypass techniques, such as anastomosis.
The argon fluoride laser (ArF laser) is a particular type of excimer laser, [1] which is sometimes (more correctly) called an exciplex laser. With its 193-nanometer wavelength, it is a deep ultraviolet laser, which is commonly used in the production of semiconductor integrated circuits , eye surgery, micromachining, and scientific research.
