Cardiovascular catheterization and intervention

"Aims to provide clinicians with comprehensive guidance on the pre-procedural, procedural and post-procedural aspects of coronary, peripheral, and structural heart disease interventions in general situations and in various clinical settings. The text features evidence-based discussions on patient selection, vascular access, general principles of interventional cardiology, and post-procedure management of these patients and serves as a comprehensive, easily accessible reference for busy practitioners and cardiovascular trainees. Of foremost importance, the topic areas covered are relevant to the daily practice of interventional cardiology. The book includes several chapters dedicated to the general concepts associated with cardiac catheterization and interventional cardiovascular medicine. Subsequent chapters focus on hemodynamic assessment and coronary angiography in general and in specific situations such as those in pediatric patients and in adults with congenital heart disease. The bulk of the book addresses coronary and non-coronary interventions including structural heart disease interventions. Finally, we have included dedicated chapters on credentialing and organizing pre-hospital and hospital systems of cardiovascular care. A large number of high-quality illustrations make this textbook particularly attractive to the practitioner"--Provided by publisher.
