Full Description

This book provides a glimpse of valvular aortic disease treatment, from its historical beginnings to the latest advances in technology. The epidemiology of the disease is reviewed, and imaging techniques and how to identify the right patient for the procedure are described. The different valves types (balloon, expandable, and self-expandable) are reviewed, along with the different techniques for implanting them. Finally, an industry overview of the field and the new engineering aspects of the devices are summarized.
