 TMR is a unique procedure that involves the use of laser technology to place small holes in the heart muscle. These holes are intended to create additional channels for blood to nourish the heart.
Candidates for TMR frequently suffer from severe chest pain (angina) despite taking medication, and are often severely limited in performing daily activities. Symptoms may be so severe that patients are awakened at night by chest pain.
TMR may be a good treatment for you if coronary artery bypass surgery or angioplasty is no longer an option in treating your heart disease.
After carefully reviewing your current health and medical history, you and your doctor can discuss whether or not you are a candidate for TMR.
