Abstract

Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR) is a new experimental method for relief of angina pectoris in patients with severe coronary artery disease. TMLR aims at revascularizing chronic hibernating myocardium by creating transmural channels. The ablation velocity and extent of thermal damage creating transmyocardial channels in vitro are studied. A simple theoretical model is presented to predict the extent of thermal damage around a transmyocardial channel. The thermal findings are used to determine a proportionality factor in order to approximate thermal damage.
