Review Published on Doody′s––December 2006:

"...covers the current state–of–the–art of myocardial laser revascularization, comprehensively reviewing the history, biology, clinical indications and results, and mechanisms of this technology.

The monograph is written for surgeons interested in laser revascularization. The authors are all recognized experts in the field.

The book presents a strong case for this technology and a superb review of the literature.

...a well–written book on a technology that continues to attract interest, although not many patient referrals, after over a decade of clinical experience...useful to surgeons with a keen interest in the subject..."
