## Abstract Laser myocardial revascularization is a promising new treatment strategy for patients with severe ischemic heart disease who are not candidates for conventional percutaneous or surgical revascularization. The open chest surgical approach to transmyocardial revascularization has been app
A significant number of patients with ischemic heart disease are not candidates for coronary artery bypass or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and do not respond to medical management. This group includes those who have diffuse coronary artery disease, those with poor ventricular function, and
Background. The aim of this study was to assess the incremental prognostic value of stress technetium 99m tetrofosmin imaging after myocardial revascularization. Methods and Results. We studied 381 patients (aged 60 ุ 10 years, 270 men), 4.5 ุ 3.2 years after myocardial revascularization (coronary
Methods used to revascularize ischemic myocardium have included arterial reconstruction, coronary artery bypass grafting, providing direct circulation from the intraventricular chamber, and techniques to promote collateral circulation. Ventricular channels from the epicardial surface through the en
