Exploratory study demonstrates that diode laser treatment effectively enhances arterial compliance and modifies plaque structure.

Modulated diode laser irradiation significantly increases arterial compliance up to 2.4 times.
Optimal laser dosimetry for fibro-calcific plaques is in the 150–300 W/cm² range, minimizing thermal injury.
Micro-CT imaging shows structural changes in plaques, including fractures and voids in response to laser treatment.
Further research is necessary to refine laser dosimetry for various plaque conditions and distributions.

Rajebahadur et al. (2025) studied this question.
