“…The adventitia and the externa appeared to be involved in only a few of the specimens. They concluded that that success was independent of the vessel wall thickness [32]. Similarly, Goldman et al [8] have showed full-thickness thermal damage affecting the endothelium, smooth muscle, and adventitia after endovenous laser treatment with a 1,320 nm laser at 5 W withcontinuous pullback at a rate of 1 mm/second.…”

Numerical simulations are in agreement with LEED reported in clinical studies. Mathematical modeling shows clearly that 1,320 nm, with a better absorption by the vessel wall, requires less energy to achieve wall damage. In the 810-1,320-nm range, blood plays only a minor role. Consequently, the classification of these lasers into hemoglobin-specific laser wavelengths (810, 940, 980 nm) and water-specific laser wavelengths (1,320 nm) is inappropriate. In terms of closure rate, 980 nm and 1,320 nm can lead to similar results and, as reported by the literature, to similar side effects. This model should serve as a useful tool to simulate and better understand the mechanism of action of the ELT.

“…The following are examples of fiber-coupled lasers, which are available for research on the basic cell photorejuvenation mechanisms [185][186][187][188] and for clinical use. [189][190][191][192] As discussed in Sec. 4, the particular optical fibers that are coupled to these light sources depend on the efficiency with which the fibers transmit light in the spectral emission region of the source.…”

Abstract. Optical fiber technology has significantly bolstered the growth of photonics applications in basic life sciences research and in biomedical diagnosis, therapy, monitoring, and surgery. The unique operational characteristics of diverse fibers have been exploited to realize advanced biomedical functions in areas such as illumination, imaging, minimally invasive surgery, tissue ablation, biological sensing, and tissue diagnosis. This review paper provides the necessary background to understand how optical fibers function, to describe the various categories of available fibers, and to illustrate how specific fibers are used for selected biomedical photonics applications. Research articles and vendor data sheets were consulted to describe the operational characteristics of conventional and specialty multimode and single-mode solid-core fibers, double-clad fibers, hard-clad silica fibers, conventional hollow-core fibers, photonic crystal fibers, polymer optical fibers, side-emitting and side-firing fibers, middle-infrared fibers, and optical fiber bundles. Representative applications from the recent literature illustrate how various fibers can be utilized in a wide range of biomedical disciplines. In addition to helping researchers refine current experimental setups, the material in this review paper will help conceptualize and develop emerging optical fiber-based diagnostic and analysis tools.

“…4 Contrastingly, thermal damage to the intimal layer is much more important, particularly given the fact that complete thrombotic occlusion of a treated vascular lumen was shown to be associated with endothelial damage. 8 The types of thermal affliction to endothelial cells that are known to trigger thrombosis, including hyperthermic activation, 26,27 necrotic cell death, 13 and denudation (i.e., exposure of the internal elastic lamina, a highly thrombogenic surface), 7 span a broad temperature range (41-100 C, Figure 1) that is easily achieved during ELT. 4,9,34 The biochemical response to this particular endovascular damage profile, which mainly entails secondary hemostasis (activation of coagulation), 31 is therefore believed to be responsible for the initial thrombotic closure of the vein, as shown in exemplary micrographs of histological preparations of veins that had been subjected to ELT (for example, Figure 3A and C in Proebstle et al, 35 Figures 2, 7, 9, and 11 in Vuylsteke et al, 36 and Figures 5 and 7 in Vuylsteke et al 37 ).…”
