Cryoablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias

Cryoablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias, by Audrius Bredikis, MD and David Wilber, MD, is the first comprehensive text
devoted solely to the effective and appropriate use of cryoablation in the management of cardiac arrhythmias. This user-
friendly, all-in-one reference provides clear explanations complemented by abundant, high-quality, full-color clinical
photos, and at-a-glance tables making it easy to access the information you need to master even the most challenging
cryoablation procedures for adult patients, pediatric/adolescent patients, and cardiac surgery patients. Online access
at www.expertconsult.com allows you to rapidly search for images and quickly locate the answers to any questions.
