摘要:
&NA;The acute effect of Nd:YAG laser beam on cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) was examined. Histological examination of the specimens after treatment with the Nd:YAG laser revealed that the most prominent effect of the laser was shrinkage of the collagen of the vessels of the AVM, which led to laser‐induced narrowing of blood vessels. The brain tissue confined to the resected AVM did not contain any histological evidence of acute damage. The resection of 10 cases of AVMs was safely accomplished with no morbidity or increased neurological deficits attributable to the laser technique. (Neurosurgery24:328‐333, 1989)
