雷射洞穿心肌血管新生術患者之短期效果評估報告

Abstract

Patients with symptomatic end-stage coronary artery disease, who had poor response to percutuneous transluminal coronary angioplaoty or coronary artery bypass grafting, the transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR) seems to be an alternative method to relieve disabling ischemic symptoms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term results (about post-op 12 weeks) after TMR.Thirty patients were enrolled in the study. We used ”New York Heart Association functional classification” and ”stages of stable angina” to evaluate the functional changes after operation. The drug medicine was also reviewarticleed. All functional evaluation showed significant improvement after TMR but increased in using cardiac drug was also noted. Although TMR has short-term improvement in angina and cardiac function, its long-term effect is still controversial. There were a few complications with TMR after short-term or long-term follow-up. When we performed comprehensive cardiopulmonary rehabilitation for those patients with TMR, we should be alert of the possibility of the complications to avoid legal problems.
