The premier reference on cardiac catheterization is now in its thoroughly
revised Seventh Edition, reflecting the rapid evolution and growing clinical
use of interventional techniques. The completely revamped interventional
section includes new material on treatment of pediatric and adult congenital
heart disease, as well as on coronary atherectomy, thrombectomy, distal embolic
protection devices, bare metal and drug-eluting stents, and percutaneous valve
therapies. Other significantly revised chapters include pulmonary angiography,
endomyocardial biopsy, and circulatory assist devices.
This edition's enhanced companion CD-ROM features more than 100 digital cases,
plus more than 20 animations showing the actions of various invasive and
interventional devices.
