## Abstract ## Background Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR) is currently clinically performed with either a CO~2~ or Ho:YAG laser for the treatment of severe angina. While both lasers provide symptomatic relief, there are significant differences in the laserβtissue interactions specifi
Laser transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) creates conduits from the left ventricular cavity into the myocardium and has been forwarded as a potential method of perfusing ischemic myocardium. The procedure typically employs a CO2 laser to produce transmyocardial channels from the epicardial to th
