Myocardial perfusion after transmyocardial laser revascularization.
Laser Revascularization To the Editor: I read with interest the report of Iskandrian et al.1 The authors described a case of improvement of perfusion in the right coronary artery territories (after transmyocardial revascularization), as well as in the territory of the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery (after CABG surgery). I’d like to ask the authors why they were sure t...
متن کاملImproved myocardial perfusion after transmyocardial laser revascularization in a patient with microvascular coronary artery disease
We report the case of a 59-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of angina that was refractory to medical management. Although her cardiac catheterization revealed microvascular coronary artery disease, her symptoms were refractory to optimal medical management that included ranolazine. After undergoing transmyocardial revascularization, her myocardial ischemia completely resolved and her ...
متن کاملUse of magnetic resonance imaging to assess myocardial perfusion after transmyocardial laser revascularization.
BACKGROUND Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR) is an alternative treatment modality for patients with refractory angina who are not candidates for conventional surgical or percutaneous revascularization. Clinical studies of TMLR have not shown one-to-one correlation between increased myocardial perfusion and improved clinical status. METHODS Three patients (51, 53, and 70 years old...

متن کاملCardiac sympathetic denervation after transmyocardial laser revascularization.
BACKGROUND Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR) has been shown to improve refractory angina not amenable to conventional coronary interventions. However, the mechanism of action remains controversial, because improved myocardial perfusion has not been consistently demonstrated. We hypothesized that TMR relieves angina by causing myocardial sympathetic denervation. METHODS AND RESULTS...
