Observational analysis finds rapid atheroma removal in a murine model, suggesting a new laser approach may minimize vascular damage.

Atheromatous lesions were fully removed in milliseconds, indicating impressive ablation efficiency.
The 5.75 µm femtosecond laser demonstrated an ablation rate of 0.13 mm³/s, showcasing advanced selectivity in tissue targeting.
Utilization of a mid-infrared laser system effectively preserved healthy vascular tissues during ablation procedures.
This promising technique may enable safer interventions for atherosclerosis, reducing the risk of complications post-surgery.

Fu et al. (2025) studied this question.
