AI Article Synopsis
- Transmyocardial laser revascularization is a surgical method aimed at easing angina and enhancing blood flow in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease who don't respond to medication or standard surgical options.
- Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital share their experiences and findings with this technique.
- The study highlights the potential clinical uses and benefits of transmyocardial laser revascularization in treating heart disease.
Article 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.
