3. Fig. 2
Angiograms of 6 cm high-grade stenosis of the superficial femoral artery (A,) in which the luminal diameter was enlarged with three pulses of 12 watts of argon laser energy delivered to the Laserprobe for 5 seconds' duration each (B.) This allowed conventional balloon angioplasty to be performed more easily to yield a good angiographic result (C.).

4. Fig. 3
Angiograms of a 4 cm total occlusion of the superficial femoral artery (A,) which was recanalized with three pulses of 12 watts of argon laser energy delivered to the Laserprobe for 10 seconds' duration each (B.) This was followed by balloon angioplasty to yield a good angiographic result (C.)
