Transmyocardial
Revascularization
(TMR/Laser Heart Surgery)
Nearly
seven million Americans suffer from angina (chest
pain), a symptom
associated with heart disease. Medical advances such
as bypass surgery have successfully brought relief
to many. But for a significant number of people with
pervasive heart disease, bypass alone is not enough.
In the past, these patients faced a future of
debilitating pain and an impaired quality of life.
Now the future looks a lot brighter. A break-through
procedure is now available at Guthrie. Called
transmyocardial revascularization (TMR), or laser
heart surgery, it has the potential to reduce pain
and restore a normal, active lifestyle.
