About this book

• Contemporary, comprehensive
• textbook for the interventional specialist.
• Contributions from worldwide experts in the field.
• Easily accessible format.
• Diagnostic and interventional emphasis.
• Complication management; prevention and anticipation of complications.
• Global vascular disease model: cardiac, peripheral vascular, neurovascular.

The field of interventional cardiology and interventional vascular medicine now comprises the dominant diagnostic and therapeutic field within cardiovascular medicine, and continues to grow in terms of patients managed and physicians trained. The Textbook of Cardiovascular Intervention is intended to provide a modern, comprehensive and practical text on interventional cardiology for the current, rapidly evolving practice environment. It is lead by an editorial board and group of worldwide experts in the field. The textbook will emphasize: (1) the history of interventional cardiovascular medicine, technology and disease subsets, (2) evidence and guideline based medicine and expert derived best practice for patient and device selection for procedures, (3) practical tips to optimally utilize technique and technology, supported with images and illustrations, and (4) dedicated sections to prevention and management of complications.
