Interventional Cardiology 1/e

-Introduction-

The first book to focus on the needs of the cardiovascular interventionalist Edited by two recognized leaders in the
field Full-color throughout Offers hard-to-find procedural information

-Description-

Filling a crucial gap in procedural knowledge, this groundbreaking reference is the first to focus on interventional
cardiovascular procedures. The book includes a full section on procedures as well as chapters on the necessary
scientific foundation, to which specialists will refer every day in their clinical practice. In addition, each
procedural chapter is loaded with valuable tips and pitfalls from an internationally recognized group of experts.
