    Abstract

    Background

    Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) has been reported to be a safe and effective atherectomy device in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, thrombotic complications after ELCA have been occasionally observed. In this study, we evaluated the impact of attenuated plaque on thrombus formation and transient no-reflow after ELCA.
