DESCRIPTION:
This practical, pocket-sized handbook shows readers how to perform common therapeutic interventions. An easy-to-read outline format makes this complex subject easier to understand. An international team of specialists reviews traditional procedures as well as more specialised interventions, including laser angioplasty, atherectomy and stent implantation, discussing techniques, cautionary highpoints and outcomes. The 2nd Edition also offers coverage of peripheral vascular disease.
KEY FEATURES:
- Review traditional procedures as well as more specialized interventions, including laser angioplasty, atherectomy, and stent implantation.
- Quickly access the information you need with the help of an easy-to-read outline format, which includes helpful tables and boldfaced key terms.
- An excellent complement to the 5th Edition of Kern""s Cardiac Catheterization Handbook, the Interventional Cardiac Catheterization Handbook is also an ideal review tool for the boards.
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
- Make optimal use of the latest techniques with coverage of coronary interventions using radial access advances in femoral closure devices avoidance of restenosis interventions for peripheral vascular disease LV support devices for high-risk PCI indications and potential pitfalls of new stents and approach to failing dialysis shunts.
- Effectively evaluate coronary and peripheral vascular disease with full coverage of non-angiographic imaging techniques including FFR, OCT, IVUS and the new tools to assess intravascular plaque composition.
- View online videos demonstrating Radial Access, Tandem Heart for High-Risk PCI, FFR for Serial Lesions, Thromboaspiration for STEMI, Management of Coronary Perforation, and more.
