In Vietnam, the cost of Transmyocardial Revascularization (TMR) typically falls between available on request, depending on several variables, including the severity and location of coronary artery disease, whether the procedure is performed as a standalone treatment or alongside coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the technology used, the hospital’s infrastructure, the cardiothoracic surgeon’s expertise, and the overall complexity of the procedure.
The overall cost may also be impacted by additional expenses for pre-operative evaluations and diagnostic tests (coronary angiography, echocardiography, ECG, blood tests), anaesthesia, hospital and ICU stays, use of specialised surgical instruments and laser equipment, post-operative medications, cardiac rehabilitation, and follow-up consultations.

Transmyocardial Revascularization (TMR) is performed to relieve severe, chronic chest pain (angina) in patients who are not candidates for conventional procedures like angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It improves blood flow directly to the heart muscle by creating small channels in the myocardium (heart wall), allowing oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to nourish ischemic areas. TMR is especially useful in patients with diffuse coronary artery disease or those with previously failed revascularization attempts.
You should consult a cardiologist if you're experiencing persistent chest pain despite optimal medical therapy, especially if previous stent placement or bypass surgery hasn’t worked or isn’t an option. TMR is typically considered for patients with refractory angina who are at high surgical risk or have complex blockages not amenable to traditional methods.
Preparation for TMR includes a complete cardiac evaluation — such as ECG, echocardiography, coronary angiography, and stress tests — to assess heart function and identify suitable candidates. Patients are advised to fast for several hours before the surgery or procedure and to temporarily stop certain medications as instructed. A detailed consultation will cover the procedure, potential risks, and recovery expectations.
Usually, a powerful CO₂ or Holmium:YAG laser is used for TMR as a minimally invasive treatment or during open heart surgery:
The procedure generally takes one to two hours. Hospitalisation typically lasts 3 to 5 days after standalone TMR, while hybrid TMR with bypass surgery may require a longer stay depending on patient condition and surgical complexity.
Recovery time varies by the type of procedure. After TMR, patients are typically monitored in the ICU for 24–48 hours. Discomfort at the incision site is normal. Physical activity is gradually resumed over weeks. Regular follow-up is essential to monitor heart function and adjust medications.
TMR has an 80–90% success rate in easing the symptoms of angina. Many patients report significant pain reduction and increased everyday functioning, even if it might not be able to treat coronary artery disease. The greatest long-term advantages occur when lifestyle changes and the best medical care are combined.
