In general, most of the physicians at the International Congress III, whether they were vascular surgeons, cardiologists, or radiologists, agreed that lasers have their place in vascular medicine. They did acknowledge, however, that further refinements are required in the lasers themselves and in assessment techniques for vascular interventions of any type. Such technological advancements will demand continued changes in nurses' knowledge and skills.
