Abstract

A platform (10) for delivering laser light comprising a carrier (12) and one or more apparatuses for generating laser light attached to the carrier (12) is disclosed. The carrier (12) has a tubular configuration comprising a proximal end (16) and a distal end (18) with openings at the proximal end (16) and the distal end (18), and a hollow center (14) between the proximal end (16) and distal end (18). Also, a device for delivering laser light (26) to the inside of a hollow tubular structure (14) or through a small opening to a location distal to the opening the platform is disclosed. Further, a method of treating coronary artery disease associated with narrowing of the lumen of one or more coronary arteries is disclosed.
