EHIRC introduces YAG LASER in India for treating CAD

The HOLIMUM: YAG LASER has been introduced for treating coronary artery disease. Laser treatment for CAD can be done either in combination with coronary artery bypass surgery or as an isolated procedure. It is usually recommended for those who have very severe coronary artery disease of small sized vessels where a conventional bypass grafting is not feasible. The laser treatment involves using a fiber optic laser delivery system to make multiple laser driven holes in the heart muscle. The laser treatment stimulates formation of micro vessels in affected heart muscles, thereby increasing the blood supply. With the introduction of this new LASER therapy, patients with small coronary artery disease, otherwise not treatable either by angioplasty or bypass surgery can also be treated.
