Abstract

Direct myocardial revascularization (DMR) has been proposed to treat patients with severe coronary artery disease who are not amenable for classical revascularization techniques such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or bypass surgery (CABG). Although recent reports suggest its benefit in alleviating patients' complaints in the long term, there is still a paucity of data on the immediate impact on regional and global myocardial functioning following this treatment. In this overview we discuss our own experience and provide a summary of other data currently available.
