FRANKLIN, Mass., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- PLC Systems Inc. (Amex: PLC) today announced that Medicare reimbursement is now available for transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) procedures using The Heart Laser(TM) System. TMR using The Heart Laser System is a new surgical procedure for coronary artery disease patients who are suffering from severe, stable angina but are not treatable by conventional coronary revascularization techniques.

"Medicare reimbursement is a significant milestone for patients who require TMR, for physicians who perform the procedure and for PLC," stated William C. Dow, president and chief executive officer of PLC Systems. "We are pleased that TMR procedures are more accessible to Medicare patients who suffer from severe angina. Obtaining Medicare reimbursement affirms that TMR is an established treatment option for patients.
