I would refrain from using devices with RF energy around pacemaker generators.However, lasers are safe for use in patients with pacemakers.
This laser only emits light and will not emit radiowaves that could potentially interfere with a pacemaker. You probably have more risk using a cellphone around a pacemaker than you would with a KTP laser. Cheers
Dear Wisshi,Yes, it is safe. The KTP does not produce an electromagnetic wave (like electrocautery does) and will therefore be safe for use if you have a pacemaker.Good luck,Dr. Mariwalla
I agree with the recommendations to leave these capillaries alone as it is likely that they may regress spontaneously.
Ulceration was more likely in the past where high concentration sclerosant solutions were used, such as 21% hypertonic saline. Remember that physiologic saline solution that is given intravenously while you are hospitalized is 0.9% whereas hypertonic saline is 23 times more concentrated...
Either laser or electrocautery would be preferred over sclero. Sclero can be tricky and if there is extravasation of the solution you can run into problems. If you do go this route, make sure the physician is very experienced. If you vessels are small the V Star pulsed dye laser would be...
