The reason PLC Laser fires when the heart is filled with blood is because they use a CO2 laser, which if there is no fluid to diffuse the beam could cause tissue damage to the tissue on the other side of the heart. While some studies have shown these to be more patent a Yag laser will do the same thing with a much smaller unit.
