Heart valves to holmium laser power of calcified plaque.docVIP

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Heart valves to holmium laser power of calcified plaque [Abstract] Objective To investigate cardiac valve with holmium laser power required to the size of calcified plaque. Methods mitral valve rheumatic heart disease were 30, according to holmium laser output power and valvular lesions were divided into 3 groups: group 1 ~ 10 w group, group was 11 ~ 16 w group, then divided into 2 groups: A group: the output power is 11 ~ 12 w (heart valve with thickening of the main stiffness, calcification is not very clear, B Group: output power is 13 ~ 16 w (valve with calcification, thickening of the main, groupgt; 16 w groups. each of 10 valves. holmium laser scanning light valve perpendicular to the surface to remove calcified plaque and thickening of fibrous tissue. laser to remove calcified plaque before and after each one heart valve, HE staining and scanning electron microscopy, to calcified plaque in the line after heart valve Masson special staining of collagen fibers. Results (1 fibrous tissue proliferation with myxoid degeneration, lesions calcification of the valve can be seen by the holmium laser treatment is to eliminate the basic focal calcification, valvular surface uneven. (2 after heart valve thermal damage to the scope of calcified plaque in group and , group were statistically significant (P lt;0.05). (3 heart valves calcified plaque surface by laser irradiation, group than in group , group calcifications removed more thoroughly the entire surface, more light, less exposure to the lower collagen fiber. Conclusion 11 ~ 16W holmium laser output power line to the calcified heart valve is feasible and effective.
