Duckers (Thoraxcenter, Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, The Netherlands) et al. compile 27 chapters that explore the process of restenosis in this volume meant for practicing interventional cardiologists and vascular biologists, as well as medical students. They provide an overview of the molecular basis and clinical approach to its imaging, prevention, and treatment, describing the molecular and genetic basis, histomorphology, animal models, and therapeutic effects in the diagnosis and management of the cardiovascular patient. They also detail advances in invasive and non-invasive imaging of vascular lesions, as well as treatment. Contributors are medical specialists in cardiology, cardiovascular diseases, and others from around the world. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Leading interventional cardiologists, including Patrick Serruys, Eric Topol, David Holmes, Thomas Luscher and others provide the gold-standard reference on the treatment of restenosis (coronary artery blockage) for interventional cardiologists. Dr. Serruys, who pioneered the use of drug-eluting stents, and other pioneers in the field cover everything from non-invasive imaging, to eluting stents, to brachytherapy through to the latest molecular biology-based treatments including antisense, stem cells and gene therapy, making this an essential reference for all interventional cardiologists.
