Abstract
Laser angioplasty has been reported as a debulking tool in highly calcified stenosis and in chronic total occlusions followed by a conventional balloon angioplasty/stenting. This systematic review includes one randomized controlled trial and two case series reporting on totally 444 patients. Due to limitation in study designs, one RCT with per randomization and per protocol analysis and two case series without controls the evidence of effectiveness and safety is low. An inclusion in the reimbursement catalogue of Austrian hospitals is currently not recommended.
