The "President's Message" supports development of specialty teams for complex procedures so that nurses are not expected to be "supenurses" who excel in all surgical specialties. * An author describes laser-assisted angioplasty for treating vascular disease in
patients with involvement of the smaller arteries or those with hard, calcified lesions who are not candidates for peripheral balloon angioplasty. * An article on foreign-body aspiration in children lists some of the most frequently aspirated nonfood items, including coins, tacks, bullet shells, beads, and crayons. * "OR Nursing Law" details a court decision that found a surgeon and other OR team members were not negligent in leaving a clamp inside a patient.
