| Research Abstract |
This report described a developmental study of the percutaneous transluminal angioplasty system using the waterjet instead of the laser. The system consisted of planger pump and a catheter. Catheter is pressure durable and has the nozzle at the distal tip. Experiment was carried out with the aorta of rabbit Target lesion as the thrombus was made by blood coagulation. Operative procedure was monitored in the video display using the fine fiberscope. Waterjet make a fine hole on the thrombus surface at first and penetrated through the whole thrombus. Then washed out the debris and remove others of the surroundings vessels. This experiment showed that waterjet angioplasty have many advantages over the laser method.
