This book presents a collection of cases in which advanced cardiology interventional procedures have been used to manage a range of clinical scenarios. Chapters detail how to perform each procedure in an easy-to-follow step-by-step format, and go on to describe potential pitfalls and how to incorporate relevant imaging techniques. For every technique described, key procedural points are provided to assist the reader in developing an understanding of how to manage these situations. Topics covered include coronary artery interventions for calcified lesions, chronic total occlusion lesions and transcatheter valvular interventions.
Mastering Skills in Complex Cardiovascular Interventions: A Case-Based Approach is a practically applicable guide on how to utilize a range of advanced interventional cardiology techniques, making it an indispensable reference for all trainee and practicing interventional cardiology practitioners, cardiac surgeons and all cardiovascular professionals.
