Transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) is a novel strategy designed to improve anginal symptoms and enhance myocardial perfusion by applying laser energy directly into the ischemic myocardium. Preliminary surgical experiences using TMR have indicated a significant reduction in angina severity, impr

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
## Abstract ## Background and Objective We present for the first time histologic findings 3 months after clinical transmyocardial laser revascularization using a XeCl excimer laser. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods Histology was performed on a patient who died from a noncardiac cause 3 mont
