Laser Atherectomy

Understanding Laser Atherectomy

 

What is this procedure and how is it performed?
Laser atherectomy is a procedure that uses laser energy to remove plaque from arteries. At Bay Vascular Surgery, a catheter with a laser tip is inserted into the artery, where the laser vaporizes the plaque, restoring normal blood flow.

Why would I need this procedure?
This treatment is ideal for patients with peripheral artery disease or other conditions where plaque buildup narrows the arteries.

What can I expect with this procedure?
The procedure is minimally invasive, with minimal discomfort. Rare complications can include vessel perforation or re-narrowing.

What is the recovery like?
Recovery is typically quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days. Careful monitoring post-procedure is crucial.
