CARDIAC - Advances in Care
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.
