| Summary: | Find everything you need on the most advanced treatments for aortic and structural heart disease in one easy-to-reference book -- procedure videos included. Percutaneous valve repair and replacement is one of the hottest topics in interventional cardiology. Substantial research has underscored the efficacy of emergent minimally-invasive procedures, and as a result percutaneous techniques are rapidly displacing surgical options as the treatment of choice for patients with aortic and structural heart disease. Until now, you have been forced to gather information about the latest advances in endovascular and hybrid therapies in piecemeal fashion, via journal articles or by attending seminars on individual techniques. Now, for the first time, you can get everything you need to add new techniques to your repertoire or achieve true mastery of procedures you have already begun to practice in one convenient book. Master leading-edge therapies. This book is a practical, step-by-step guide to the latest endovascular and hybrid techniques. Edited by two of the most experienced practitioners in the field, Endovascular and Hybrid Therapies for Structural Heart and Aortic Disease covers everything interventionalists, radiologists, cardiac sugeons, and vascular surgeons need to know to master leading-edge therapies, including: Equipment selection and preparation; Expert tips and tricks on individual therapies; Use of advanced imaging modalities like CT and real-time MRI; Optimal management of complications and proper patient follow-up; A review of the pertinent anatomy, information on patient evaluation; Complex procedures and possible complications. Essential hot topics: Hybrid Endovascular Aortic Arch Surgery, Technique of Thoracic Endografting for Thoracic Aneurysm using the Approved Gore TAG Device, Endovascular Robotics for Complex Aortic Intervention, and Transcatheter Closure of Mitral and Aortic Paravalvular Leaks, and more! Plus, each chapter is fully illustrated in color, and a companion website includes video clips of procedures covered in the text. - Publisher. "Despite the "hot topic" status of this subject, there are few book-length resources that cover the subjects presented here in any depth. There is a particular need for high-quality coverage of hybrid techniques, which have emerged only over the last 3-4 years. Some of the techniques/procedures covered in this book have gained approval and are being used in patient care in Europe and elsewhere and are sure to see approval soon in the United States. Thus, this book not only fills a current need, but also anticipates a very likely near-term need amongst its target audience. The book aims to be a clear, practical guide to the topics covered, and with its combination of text with high-quality still images and videos presented on a companion website it should more than meet the expectations of buyers looking for expert guidance in this area"--Provided by publisher |
