Angiographic evidence of myocardial channels after percutaneous transmyocardial laser treatment.
The available clinical reports on percutaneous transmyocardial laser revascularization do not provide data on the visibility of the channels after the procedures. We present the case of a patient who had clear angiographic evidence of the presence of myocardial channels immediately after percutaneous transmyocardial laser revascularization.
