Perioperative morbidity and mortality after transmyocardial laser revascularization: incidence and risk factors for adverse events.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to describe the incidence and spectrum of perioperative cardiac and noncardiac morbidity and mortality after transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR) and to identify predictors of these adverse clinical events. BACKGROUND Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of TMR for relieving angina pectoris, although no study to date has specificall...

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 ...

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...

We appreciate the suggestions of Dr. Veyrat regarding our study (1) and agree that it would be of interest to trigger the computed tomographic (CT) images at the time point of maximal aortic valve opening as previously calculated with Doppler velocity-time integral. However, some technical and logistic considerations arising from the CT perspective should be taken into account. The heart rate m...
