About this book

Every medical specialty has a core of classic papers that reflect both the historical development of the discipline and point the way to present and future developments.

A distinguished team of international contributors have been assembled by the Editors to identify, analyze and collate the most important articles from a broad range of publications that have become recognized as the defining articles in coronary angioplasty. It is a unique reference, for not only does it provide a single source for reviewing the most important papers in the discipline, it also provides a critical analysis of the strengths, weaknesses and the impact each paper has had on the development of coronary angioplasty.

This book will be essential reading for cardiologists – in particular interventional cardiologists – radiologists, vascular surgeons and all involved in research and clinical practice in the field of coronary angioplasty.
