Fig. 2 This previously stenotic artery, seen in Fig. 1, was first traversed with a guide wire and then a 2.2 mm over-the-wire laser catheter. The resulting lumen is sufficient to allow standard balloon angioplasty.

Fig. 5 This occluded artery, seen in Fig. 4, was primarily opened with a balloon-oriented end-on catheter. The lumen was not sufficient but allowed standard balloon angioplasty.
