Confocal Endomicroscopy of Colorectal Polyps
Gastroenterology Research and Practice, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is one of several novel methods that provide real‐time, high‐resolution imaging at a micron scale via endoscopes. CLE has the potential to be a disruptive technology in that it can change the current algorithms that depend on biopsy to perform surveillance of high‐risk conditions.

Evaluation of Annuloaortic Ectasia by Angioscopy and IVUS “Report of 2 cases”
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopy, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 35-45, 2000., 2000 We attempted combined use of angioscopy and intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) to localize the coronary ostia and determine the aortic segment to be replaced in patients with annuloaortic ectasia, because these preoperative informations are important for selection of an appropriate technique for reconstructing the coronary artery, to prevent ...

Clinical Experience of Laser Angioplasty for the Cardiovascular Disease
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopy, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 11-18, 1995., 1995 In recent years, lasers are being utilized in cardiovascular surgery. Since the 1980′s we have investigated angioplasty using an Argon laser for patients with obstructive arterial diseases. This technique aims to open the obstructive arterial lumen. Based on the excellent results of experimental studies, the technique has been clinically applied. Laser
