The updated guide to understanding and implementing today’s interventional cardiology procedure
Minimally
invasive methods of cardiovascular intervention are developing apace,
propelled by unprecedented advancements in technology and procedural
expertise. Bearing exciting implications for a broad range of adjacent
fields of surgery and patient care, these innovative techniques are of
ever-increasing importance, not only within cardiology, but across
medicine as a whole.
This third edition of Interventional Cardiology
is designed to equip practitioners of all levels with a working
knowledge of today’s best and most up-to-date practices, as well as the
fundamental principles that underlie their use. Expertly revised to span
coronary interventions, interventional pharmacology, structural heart
interventions, endovascular therapy, and more, its modular sections are
accompanied by multiple-choice questions to help aid learning and
self-assessment.
The new edition of Interventional Cardiology features:
- A
thorough survey of the field, including atherogenesis and inflammation,
vascular access controversies, radiation protection concepts, acute and
chronic interventional pharmacology recommendations for high risk
subjects/procedures
- Evaluations with imaging and physiology,
including physiologic assessment in the cardiac catheterization lab,
intravascular ultrasound, and optical coherence tomography
- Discussions
of revascularization in various clinical settings, including stable
coronary heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, he management of
cardiogenic shock, and hemodynamic support devices and techniques
- Examinations of coronary interventions in various lesion types, including complex lesions, left main, bifurcations, CTO
- Heart
valve disease and relevant percutaneous interventions, including preop
imaging and clinical evaluations and outcomes assessment in great depth
and with technical details; left atrial interventions are an expanding
frontier
- Peripheral vascular, carotid and aorta/branch diseases
are covered in greater detail than previous editions; venous disease
treatments have become well established
