"This is a useful resource for cardiovascular surgeons, interventional and general cardiologists, and clinicians involved in the treatment of these patients, as well as researchers involved in investigations of structural heart disease. The editors are respected academic surgeons and have assembled a fantastic group of authors ... . This book is an important addition to the literature and will be valuable as a reference for all clinicians involved in this dynamic and transformative area of clinical medicine." (Michael Bates, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2016)
This text provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of catheter based approaches to valve and aortic diseases. The scope encompasses involve all the current and upcoming transcatheter aortic valve technologies as well as mitral, pulmonary and tricuspid valve technologies. Aortic diseases including transcatheter repair of descending aneurysms are included and the upcoming technologies designed to repair aortic dissections, traumatic injury, and ascending arch stent repair are highlighted.
Catheter Based Valve and Aortic Surgery will be a useful tool for cardiac and vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, general cardiologists, and clinicians and researchers with an interest in these exciting new developments in structural heart and vascular diseases.
