<p>A bundle of fibers is employed to concurrently produce a plurality of channels (14a-14c) through the myocardium of a heart and into its left ventricle wherein each fiber (2) receives laser energy in its proximate end, has its distal end placed against the myocardium, and pressed through it upon the application of laser energy into the fibers; the individual fibers are constrained to follow different paths through the myocardium. The different paths may be parallel (19a-19e) or divergent (16a-16e).</p> |
