Factors correlating with risk of mortality after transmyocardial revascularization.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine factors correlating with the risk of postoperative mortality after transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR). BACKGROUND Clinical studies have indicated that TMR reduces angina by an average of two classes in patients with medically refractory symptoms not treatable by coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or percutaneous transluminal co...
متن کاملTransmyocardial laser revascularization.
Low-powered lasers were first used in the early 1980s to produce transventricular channels as an adjunct to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Early results were encouraging, but because of the combined procedure, could not be attributed directly to use of the laser [1]. High-powered lasers were introduced into clinical practice in 1990 [2]. These lasers are powerful enough to create ...
متن کاملEarly experience with transmyocardial laser revascularization.
Conventional treatment of coronary artery disease consists of either Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), medical therapy or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or a combination. However, certain group of patients do not even qualify for CABG. Transmyocardial Laser Revascularization (TMR) is a unique new surgical modality specially for that sub group of patient population w...
متن کاملTransmyocardial laser revascularization. Personal experience.
BACKGROUND Indirect revascularization is a therapeutic approach in case of severe angina not suitable for percutaneous or surgical revascularization. Transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) is one of the techniques used for indirect revascularization and it allows to create transmyocardial channels by a laser energy bundle delivered on left ventricular epicardial surface. Benefits of the proced...
متن کاملTransmyocardial revascularization: an industry perspective.
e s t e r d a y . The concept of what is now called transmyocardial revascularization actually precedes the evolution of coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Wearn described the myocardial microanatomy (most notably the arterioluminal sinusoids, which are poorly developed in humans but a major myocardial blood supply to reptiles) as ea...
