Sommario/riassunto

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
