Case Studies in Percutaneous Interventions for Congenital and Structural Heart Disease

As a result of scientific rigour, operator creativity, and increased technical acumen, percutaneous interventions for congenital and structural heart disease are a reality. Procedures that were once relegated to surgical therapy are now performed in the cath lab. While experienced operators use atherectomy devices and drug-eluting stents for coronary arteries, when they enter the congenital and structural heart arena, they require a diversity of interventional skills, both simple and complex, to treat patients ranging from neonates to the very elderly. Case Studies in Percutaneous Interventions for Congenital and Structural Heart Disease equips the reader with the necessary information, based on the contributors' personal experiences in the cath lab, to manage patients with confidence. Ziyad Hijazi, Horst Sievert, Lee Benson, and Shakeel Qureshi have mustered an internationally recognized, dedicated group of highly experienced contributors to share their encounters with a variety of clinical cases. The DVD offers a variety of imaging modalities so that the procedures are convincingly viewed in real-time. Case Studies in Percutaneous Interventions for Congenital and Structural Heart Disease is undeniably one of the best tools on the market for all those either working or wishing to work in this exciting new fieldHijazi, Ziyad M. is the author of 'Case Studies in Percutaneous Interventions for Congenital and Structural Heart Disease', published 2009 under ISBN 9781841846514 and ISBN 1841846511.
