About this book
Percutaneous aortic valve replacement and percutaneous mitral valve repair are emerging alternatives for high-risk patients with severe valve disease. Interventional cardiologists are faced with the challenge represented by this complex procedure. This practical guide specifically deals with a comprehensive knowledge of the techniques and approach to percutaneous treatment of left side cardiac valve disease and discusses the potential complications and expected or potential morbidity from the procedure.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“It very nicely summarizes the recent advances in the percutaneous treatment of mitral and aortic valvular disorders. This book is intended for trainees and physicians with a special interest in valvular diseases, especially those interested in the interventional aspects of these disorders. … It is a small book, easy to carry, with high yield tables and references, printed on a good quality paper. … This is a great source of a wealth of information for interventional cardiologists.” (Surya M. Artham, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2010)Authors and Affiliations
