Abstract:
Transmyocardial laser revascularization is a promising surgical technique that relieves angina and improves subendocardial perfusion in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease refractory to medical management and not amenable to conventional revascularization techniques. We detail our laboratory experience at the Brigham and Women's Hospital with transmyocardial laser revascularization and discuss the potential clinical applications of this work.
