Abstract

A new approach to myocardial revascularization by the creation of numerous channels which directly convey blood from the ventricular cavity into the myocardium is described. These channels, created by transmyocardial acupuncture, effectively meet the challenge of acute coronary artery occlusion, as is shown by experimental studies. These channels remain patent and contain fresh blood over an 8 week follow-up. There is an analogy between this mode of blood supply to the myocardium and the myocardial circulation in lower vertebrates.
