The benefit of chilling in argon-laser treatment of port-wine stains. 1985

B Dréno, and T Patrice, and P Litoux, and H Barrière

The authors compare results obtained in argon laser treatment of port-wine stains with and without preliminary chilling, noting that the success rate is considerably greater with the former procedure (68.6 percent) than with the latter (37.5 percent) (X2 = 4.37 p less than 0.05). The effect of chilling has been studied with special reference to the vitropressure test. Different hypotheses are presented to account for the difference and possible complications of the treatment are considered.
