title: Angiographic evidence of myocardial channels after percutaneous transmyocardial laser treatment.
abstract: 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.
