Description
Finally, there is a dependable guide to transmyocardial laserrevasculariztion (TMR). In this groundbreaking volume, clinicianswho pioneered the use of this innovative treatment share theirinsights on the indications, results, mechanisms, and limitationsof the technique.
Under the careful editorial guidance of Drs. Bridges, Horvath,and Chiu, contributing authors explain:
* * the evolution, science, rationale, and limitations forTMR
* how to select suitable candidates
* anesthetic considerations and the role of transesophagealecho

Review Published on Doody's--December 2006: "...covers the current state-of-the-art of myocardial laserrevascularization, comprehensively reviewing the history, biology,clinical indications and results, and mechanisms of thistechnology. The monograph is written for surgeons interested in laserrevascularization. The authors are all recognized experts in thefield. The book presents a strong case for this technology and a superbreview of the literature. ...a well-written book on a technology that continues to attractinterest, although not many patient referrals, after over a decadeof clinical experience...useful to surgeons with a keen interest inthe subject..."
