Pulses from a commercial Er:YAG laser (Quantronics, Smithtown) have been transmitted through prototype commercial zirconium fluoride optical fibers (Infrared Fiber Systems, Silver Spring) to ablate atheromatous arteries in a wet field in order to evaluate the feasibility of such a system for laser angioplasty.
