title: [Morphological bases of myocardial revascularization by laser radiation].
abstract: The mechanism of myocardial revascularization was studied in 30 dogs with the aid of impulse carbonic acid laser after ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery. In the control group, 4 dogs died of myocardial infarction. In 26 animals laser canals were formed. The walls of the canals comprised cardiomyocytes with the manifestations of a coagulation thermal necrosis. Morphological studies disclosed the aseptic productive nature of the inflammatory reaction and the absence of marked leukocytic infiltration of the tissues adjacent to the area of necrosis. The laser canals were lined with endothelium by the 10th-14th day after operation, they were not obliterated or sclerosed. Morphological, laboratory, and radionuclide studies attest to adequate perfusion of the myocardium with the aid of the laser canals preventing the development of myocardial ischemia and infarction.
