A high-powered laser, which unblocks arteries in minutes, is being used on UK patients for the first time.
The Turbo Elite 'drill' fitted to a new laser called the Excimer blasts tissue into particles so small they can only be seen under a microscope.
Trials at University College Hospital in London have proved a major success with reduced operating times and hospital stays.
The first two patients were treated at the hospital in July and discharged the next day, instead of spending weeks in hospital. The procedure could help thousands with artery disease.
