Full Description
The field of interventional cardiology has changed enormously since the first coronary angioplasty performed by Gruentzig in 1977. Coronary angioplasty was once considered a major procedure with high failure rates. However, with the availability of dual lumen microcatheters, dedicated CTO wires, atherectomy devices, coronary lithotripsy, excimer laser, and intracoronary imaging such as IVUS and OCT, procedural success has increased even in complex coronary lesions. In the last three decades, coronary angioplasty has evolved significantly to the extent that modern cardiologists attempt to open even the most complex tortuous calcified long segment chronic total occlusions.
Presented in a step by step approach, this book is a comprehensive guide to the field of interventional cardiology.
The text explains the basics of arterial punctures, catheter selection, intracoronary imaging, and physiology, before delving further into more complex procedures covering coronary, structural and peripheral arterial interventions.
The book covers the latest technologies such as excimer laser coronary atherectomy and orbital atherectomy, as well as difficult complications including coronary perforation, balloon fracture, stent loss, and more.
Highly illustrated to enhance learning, this manual serves as a valuable reference tool for both residents and practising cardiologists.
