DESCRIPTION:
Understand and remedy chronic total occlusions with the third edition of this comprehensive guide
Chronic Total Occlusions offers the most comprehensive overview of chronic total occlusions(CTO) on the market, authored by two internationally recognized physician educators. It covers both the diagnostic modalities and treatment methods required to tailor a treatment program to individual cardiological patients with the greatest possible chance of success. Thorough and informed by the latest research and field data, the third edition of this guide is an indispensable resource for interventional cardiologists.
In Chronic Total Occlusions: A Guide to Recanalization, Third Edition, readers will also find:
- Full-color images to guide diagnosis of CTOs
- Expert tips and tricks for key procedures involved in treating challenging cases
- Clinical case studies illustrating specific scenarios and frequently encountered complications
- Chronic Total Occlusions: A Guide to Recanalization, Third Edition is a must-have for interventional cardiologists who want to maximize their patient outcomes.
