Produktbeschreibung

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 a sole or combination therapy Whether you are already practicing TMR or contemplating its addition to your therapeutic armamentarium, this concise reference will answer all your questions about this important new procedure.

Rezensionen

Review Published on Doody's--December 2006:

"...covers the current state-of-the-art of myocardial laserrevascularization, comprehensively reviewing the history, biology,clinical indications and results, and mechanisms of thistechnology.

The monograph is written for surgeons interested in laserrevascularization. The authors are all recognized experts in thefield.

The book presents a strong case for this technology and a superbreview of the literature.

...a well-written book on a technology that continues to attractinterest, although not many patient referrals, after over a decadeof clinical experience...useful to surgeons with a keen interest inthe subject..."
