Abstract
Devices are disclosed for performing transmyocardial revascularization (TMR), percutaneous revascularization and other thermal tissue therapies. The invention utilizes a coring needle with an associated heating element to core out tissue to form a channel in the myocardium, and concurrently thermalize a thin tissue layer at the wall of the channel. The invention yields myocardial channels similar to those obtained with conventional techniques, but with lower energy requirements. The invention further new closure mechanisms for transmyocardial applications.
