Platelet aggregation may be an important factor in the feasibility of transcatheter laser angioplasty. The in vitro effects of increasing doses of CO2 laser irradiation on platelet number, function, and surface ultrastructure were examined. Results indicated a progressive dose-response reduction of both platelet number and function following laser irradiation. By scanning electron microscopy the irradiated platelets showed dose-related changes in pseudopods as well as progressive damage of the cell membrane.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
