Transmyocardial Revascularization (TMR)
Trusted by Patients From 35+ Countries
What is Transmyocardial Revascularization (TMR)?
Transmyocardial Revascularization (TMR) is a specialized surgical procedure used to improve blood flow to the heart muscle in patients with severe coronary artery disease who are not suitable for conventional treatments like angioplasty or bypass surgery.
During the procedure, small channels are created in the heart muscle using a laser, allowing oxygen-rich blood to reach areas with poor circulation. TMR is often used in patients with advanced Coronary Artery Disease.
Why is TMR Done?
TMR is performed to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life in patients with limited treatment options. It is recommended when:
- Severe coronary artery disease cannot be treated with angioplasty or bypass surgery
- Persistent chest pain (angina) despite medication
- Poor blood supply to certain areas of the heart muscle
- Previous treatments have failed or are not feasible
The procedure helps reduce angina and improve overall heart function.
Who is an Eligible Candidate for TMR in India?
Patients who may be suitable candidates include:
- Individuals with advanced coronary artery disease
- Patients experiencing chronic, severe angina
- Those not eligible for bypass surgery or stenting
- Patients with reduced quality of life due to heart symptoms
- Individuals medically fit for surgery after evaluation
In India, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons carefully assess each patient before recommending TMR.
Types of TMR Procedure
TMR may be performed in different ways depending on the patient’s condition:
1. Standalone TMR
- Performed as the primary treatment for patients not eligible for other procedures
2. TMR Combined with CABG (Bypass Surgery)
- Used in patients where some arteries can be bypassed, but others cannot
- Provides improved blood flow to multiple areas of the heart
Diagnostic Tests Done Before TMR
A detailed evaluation is required before the procedure:
- Echocardiography (2D Echo)
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Coronary angiography
- Stress test
- CT scan or MRI
- Blood tests and general health assessment
These tests help determine the severity of disease and identify areas with poor blood supply.

India is a preferred destination for advanced cardiac procedures due to:
- Highly experienced cardiac surgeons and heart specialists
