ABSTRACT:
A laser catheter having a flexible body and a distally positioned translucent end cap coupled to the flexible body by a metal coupler. Multiple fiber optic light pipes extend through the body and direct light through the end cap at oblique angles. The light passing through the catheter originates from a visible light pulsed dye laser.
