transmyocardial laser revascularization

Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR or TMR) was introduced in the late 1990s as a method to offer relief to patients with incapacitating angina that were poor candidates for other procedures such as coronary artery bypass graft surgery or balloon angioplasty and stenting. The basis for the procedure is use of a laser to bore small holes from the ventricle into the myocardium, allowing blood to flow directly into the heart muscle without the need to travel through blocked coronary arteries. The belief is that this process helps enable angiogenesis.
