| laser-assisted balloon angioplasty | <cardiology, procedure> Techniques using laser energy in combination with a balloon catheter to perform angioplasty. These procedures can take several forms including: 1. Laser fibre delivering the energy while the inflated balloon centres the fibre and occludes the blood flow. 2.
