DAVIS, Calif. — A new, non-
surgical technique inspired by
the movie “Star Wars” uses las
ers to melt arterial blockages
and could one day replace pain
ful coronary bypass operations
for many heart patients.
Dr. Garrett Lee, a cardiolog
ist at the University of California
at Davis, said Wednesday his
procedure, still in the animal ex
periment stage, involves thread
ing a slender tube through a pa
tient’s artery to the point of ob
struction.
One optic fiber within the
catheter sheds light on the in
terior and another is hooked up
to television, enabling physi
cians to see inside the vessel. A
solid quartz fiber carries the las
er beam, and a small inflatable
balloon attached to the catheter
blocks the flow of blood.
“We can position the catheter
up and down, and whatever we
see we can zap,” Lee said. Fatty
deposits on the walls melt away.
Smoke and debris are sucked
out of the artery in a process still
under development.
Medical researchers estimate
that more than 4 million Amer
icans suffer from coronary heart
disease and that $2 billion was
spent in the United States last
year on approximately 110,000
loypass surgeries. These involve
splicing a section of artery
around clogged vessels.
Lee, who says his method may
make many bypass operations
unneccessary, began developing
the laser technique after watch
ing Obi-Wan Kenobi in the
movie “Star Wars.”
“When I saw ‘Star Wars’ and a
laser sword, I said, ‘Why can’t we
deliver this thing in the heart, or
any blood vessel for that mat
ter?’ So we started experiment
ing with specimens of blocked
coronary arteries taken from
people who died of heart dis
ease,” he said.
Last month, Lee began a
second phase of tests with live
pigs fattened on a high choles
terol diet. He is one to two years
away from testing the laser proc
edure in humans and, if all goes
well, its use could be widespread
by the end of the decade.
Lasers, which concentrate in
tense beams of light, are widely
used in the medical world to
burn away cancerous tumors,
control bleeding during surgery
and fuse retinas to the back wall
of the eye.
Marvin Loeb, of Trimedyne
Inc., which has licensed the laser
catheter from the university,
estimates the cost of experi
ments thus far at $500,000, with
the tab for the entire project
likely to range from $2 million to
$3 million.
