Tranmyocardial Revascularisation [TMR], is a lesser known option for the treatment of heart diseases, among the wide range of options that are available or under development. In TMR, a laser is use to drill multiple (15-40) millimeter sized channels through the myocardium in order to increase blood flow for patients with angina who may not be good candidates for Coronary bypass surgery. TMR is indeed unique because it also uses autologous stem cells, to provide clinical benefit for these patients.
