Cardiovascular disease continues to be a giant killer across the globe with the prevalence of coronary artery disease remaining unabated.Interventional cardiology has grown leaps and bounds in the last 20 years with revolutionary advancements in the bio-engineering and technical expertise, thus throwing up enduring challenges to interventionists to keep themselves updated. Dedicated bifurcation stent is one such innovative vignette which has caught the attention of many interventional cardiologists aspiring to be leaders in this field. The concept is unique and the technique is imposing. The growing numbers of different designs under research is vindictive of its future. More trial data are required and more importantly the long learning curve in the real life practice would pose a delay before they become the default treatment option in true bifurcation lesions. This book depicts the current concepts of bifurcation stenting, the design and techniques of different dedicated bifurcation stents including the drug eluting variants. We sincerely hope this comprehensive review would help to update the interventional cardiologists with special interest in bifurcation stenting.

Bifurcations still remain one of the most challenging lesions to be treated in the modern PCI era. They are associated with lower procedural success rates, higher rates of periprocedural complications, and complicated long-term outcomes. Their incidence is assessed to be approximately 15,Äì20%. There is still debate on how should they be treated,Äîone-stent versus two-stent techniques, whether there is a need for obligatory proximal optimization or kissing balloons. Multiple clinical trials have tested different PCI strategies. We will cover theoretical basics of treating bifurcations and describe different types of dedicated bifurcation stents,ÄîNile PAX, Nile SIR, BiOSS Expert, BiOSS LIM, Stentys Tryton, and Axxess Plus. We will discuss the data from studies comparing these bifurcation devices and will show our own experience and results working with these devices. There will be a discussion, tips, and tricks treating bifurcation lesions with dedicated devices,Äîmost common pitfalls and how to deal with them.

Recent developments in the field of percutaneous coronary intervention and encouraging data relating to feasibility and safety have led to a renewed interest in left main angioplasty. Interventional cardiologists are faced with the challenge represented by this complex subset of lesions. The first part of this practical handbook specifically deals with the development of the anatomical classification and gives an overview of the frequency of different anatomic phenotypes. The second part provides a comprehensive knowledge on the techniques and approach to left main coronary artery disease and discuss the potential complications. The authors draw on their practical experience to look at expected or potential morbidity from percutaneous coronary intervention. The aim of this book is to provide interventional cardiologists with useful tips and tricks for percutaneous coronary intervention of the left main coronary artery.

Operator skills, and in particular decision-making and strategic skills, are the most critical factor for the outcome of catheter-based cardiovascular interventions. Currently, such skills are commonly developed by the empirical trial and error method only. In this textbook, for the first time, an explicit teaching, training, and learning approach is set out that will enable interventional operators, whether cardiologists, vascular surgeons, vascular specialists, or radiologists, to learn about and to develop the cognitive skills required in order to achieve consistent expert-level catheter-based interventions. It is anticipated that adoption of this approach will allow catheter-based interventions to become a domain of excellence, with rapid transfer of knowledge, steep learning curves, and highly efficient acquisition of complex skills by individual operators — all of which are essential to meet successfully the challenges of modern cardiovascular care.

This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date summary of drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology and the role of DCBs in the treatment of coronary and peripheral arterial disease. In addition to clear explanation of how DCBs works, readers will find an enlightening analysis of the mistakes and successes of the past decade and the emergence of the latest delivery systems, which combine a more deliverable device with much improved drug delivery to the vessel wall. The full range of current applications of DCBs are reviewed in detail, drawing on the latest scientific evidence. Due attention is paid to newer devices, with provision of technical insights and documentation of the available clinical data. Ongoing research projects, remaining technical challenges, likely future directions, and reimbursement issues are also carefully considered. This book will be a useful tool for any interventional cardiologist, interventional radiologist, or vascular surgeon who wishes to acquire a deep knowledge of this technology and its application in both coronary and peripheral interventions.
