Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Procedural Safety and Efficacy of ELCA in CAD

Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy (ELCA ®) uses the high energy, monochromatic light beam to alter or dissolve (vaporize) the plaque without damaging the surrounding tissue. Fiber-optic catheters are used to deliver this light beam. For endovascular applications, Xenon Chloride excimer laser is used and its fiber-optic catheter has multiple small fibers, rather than just a few large fibers, in order to be flexible enough to navigate in the arterial tree.
