Laser angioplasty is more expensive than the balloon technique because the laser device costs about $ 200, 000 beyond the standard cardiac-catheterization equipment.
But those earlier findings were not based on the kind of scientifically rigorous study that the Dutch cardiologists used to compare balloon and laser angioplasty directly for the first time.
An entire NASA office tracks thousands of spin-offs from space technology ranging from life-saving laser angioplasty and programmable pacemakers to better golf balls and enriched baby food.
Additional firsts from Texas Heart Institute include the first bridge-to-transplant with an LVAD in 1978, the first laser angioplasty procedure in America in 1985, and the first laser coronary endarterectomy procedure in America in 1985.
