Effect of CO2 and blood media on laser probe temperature

Blood may limit laser ablation of arterial plaque by decreasing thermal energy transfer from metal‐capped probes to arterial occlusions. Since a gas is a good insulator of heat, CO2 may be a better medium for laser recanalization. To study this possibility, a metal‐capped fiber was positioned in a s...
