About this book

Leading interventional cardiologists, including Patrick Serruys, Eric Topol, David Holmes, Thomas Luscher and others provide the gold-standard reference on the treatment of restenosis (coronary artery blockage) for interventional cardiologists. Dr. Serruys, who pioneered the use of drug-eluting stents, and other pioneers in the field cover everything from non-invasive imaging, to eluting stents, to brachytherapy through to the latest molecular biology-based treatments including antisense, stem cells and gene therapy, making this an essential reference for all interventional cardiologists.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"This is a comprehensive review of the problem of restenosis, from the basic science to clinical management. … The audience includes interventional cardiology fellows and interventional cardiologists. The book describes the difficulties that cardiologists face trying to prevent and manage restenosis. … Each chapter includes extensive references. This is a complete, state-of-the-art review of restenosis, covering all aspects of restenosis from pathophysiology to therapeutic management. The authors are leaders in interventional cardiology with extensive clinical experience in the field." (Adriana Maria Rosario, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2007)

"A multiauthored, comprehensive compendium of virtually all aspects of the restenotic process after balloon- or stent-induced arterial injury. ... The text is written by a blueribbon panel of authors who provide an in-depth coverage of the topics. Many of the clinical chapters offer an excellent historical perspective on the problem of restenotis. ... Recommended Readership: Interventional (clinical and research) cardiologists and interventional fellows." (John F. Bresnahan, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Vol. 83 (4), April, 2008)
