摘要：
Inducing thrombolysis of thermally induced thrombus occurring during endovenous ablation of varicose veins by introducing an optical fiber laser deliver device with optical fiber portion and with an energy emitting tip at its distal end into the varicosed vein to be treated, emitting pulsed, laser energy with sufficient energy to close and destroy varicose veins to the emitting tip of the optical fiber laser delivery device, thereby inducing laser thrombolysis of coagulated blood which accumulates at the energy emitting tip of the fiber when the fiber is caused to emit energy in the presence of uncoagulated blood and minimizing adverse effects associated with thermally induced thrombus within a varicose vein.
