Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9904708A1] This invention is an apparatus and method for performing transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) wherein epicardial tissue (52) is pushed aside during the formation of a channel (60) in the heart wall (50, 54), and substantially returns to a position coinciding with the channel (60) to act as a channel cap (53) to reduce bleeding from the channel (60).
