Abstract

This paper reports the clinical experience in transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR) with high power CO₂ laser and evaluates the preliminary results of TMLR. TMLR may improve angina pectoris and myocardial perfusion significantly. To switch on the laser in proper order may be helpful to shorten duration of surgery. A gentle removal of fat on the apex may increase the successful transmyocardial penetration.
