Finally, there is a dependable guide to transmyocardial laser
revasculariztion (TMR). In this groundbreaking volume, clinicians
who pioneered the use of this innovative treatment share their
insights on the indications, results, mechanisms, and limitations
of the technique.
Under the careful editorial guidance of Drs. Bridges, Horvath,
and Chiu, contributing authors explain:
* * the evolution, science, rationale, and limitations for
TMR
* how to select suitable candidates
* anesthetic considerations and the role of transesophageal
echo
* TMR as a sole or combination therapy
Whether you are already practicing TMR or contemplating its
addition to your therapeutic armamentarium, this concise reference
will answer all your questions about this important new
procedure.
