CO2
Laser Revascularization Standard treatments for coronary artery
disease and angina include coronary artery bypass grafting, angioplasty
and drug therapy. However, if your angina is related to diffusely
diseased coronary arteries and arteries that are not be amenable to
standard bypass surgery or angioplasty, there is a new procedure
available to treat you. CO2 laser revascularization (TMR) creates new
channels or conduits in the heart muscle. In addition, it also
encourages the growth of small new vessels in the heart muscle by a
means called angiogenesis. TMR has been shown to significantly decrease
angina in patients with diffusely diseased or small coronary arteries
and has also been shown to increase survival. |
