Preliminary results of clinical studies suggest that transmyocardial laser revascularization is an effective treatment for patients with chronic angina that cannot be treated by other means. The mechanism of this effect remains controversial. We present autopsy results from a patient obtained 4 1/2 weeks after operation that show that the channels do not maintain patency. Further work is needed to determine the frequency of channel patency and its relation to clinical benefit.
临床研究的初步结果表明，经心肌激光血运重建术对于那些无法用其他方法治疗的慢性心绞痛患者是一种有效的治疗方法。这种疗效的机制仍存在争议。我们展示了一名患者术后4.5周的尸检结果，结果显示这些通道并未保持通畅。需要进一步开展工作来确定通道通畅的频率及其与临床益处的关系。
