cardiovascular surgery performed during which a laser is used to place channels or holes into oxygen-deprived heart muscle
an investigational cardiovascular surgery performed using a high-powered, computer-synchronized CO2 laser (The Heart Laser(tm) System). The laser places channels or holes into oxygen-deprived heart muscle (also called transmyocardial laser revascularization or TMLR)
a laser procedure used to create channels through the heart muscle directly into the heart chamber. Used to improve blood flow to areas of the heart not receiving adequate blood supply due to blocked coronary arteries.
Laser surgery that opens tiny new pathways within the heart. These holes improve blood flow and reduce the severity of chest pain, pressure or discomfort (angina) resulting from a lack of oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
"TMR" or "DMR" uses a laser to create channels from inner portions of the heart to allow oxygen-rich blood to directly reach sections of the heart which are oxygen deficient.
Revascularization (artery-repair) procedure in which a laser is used to cut a series of channels into the heart muscle, thereby increasing its blood flow.
Transmyocardial revascularization is a procedure used to treat angina pectoris. A laser is used to create a series of channels into the heart muscle, thereby increasing blood flow to it.
