This textbook is a readily accessible educational tool for all fellows undertaking subspecialty training in interventional cardiology, while also serving as a refresher to early career interventional cardiologists. The key objective is to equip the reader with an evidence-based expert-led resource focussed primarily on pre-procedural planning, peri-procedural decision-making, and the salient technical aspects of performing safe and effective coronary intervention, the intention being to support the therapeutic decision-making process in the emergency room, coronary care unit or cath lab in order to optimize patient outcome. The Interventional Cardiology Training Manual provides readers with a step-by-step guide to the basic principles underpinning coronary intervention and facilitates rapid access to best practice from the experts, presented in a pragmatic, digestible and concise format. Uniquely, each chapter has been written in a heart center-specific manner, affording the reader an opportunity to learn how individual institutions perform a specific procedure, which algorithms and guidelines they follow and what evidence they draw on to instigate the best possible care for their patients.
Cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography remain key tools in the management of patients with coronary heart disease. Although this is the most frequently used method of coronary revascularization, general training in cardiology rarely offers more than the opportunity to assist a more senior operator to perform angioplasty procedures. This textbook, covering key procedures and fully revised and updated to include the latest trials, technology, and new techniques, is essential reading. The Oxford Textbook of Interventional Cardiology, 2nd edition spans the whole spectrum of interventional cardiology procedures, including a novel section on the future of interventional cardiology, and multiple new chapters covering special devices in percutaneous coronary intervention. Written by an expert team of international authors, this book offers guidance on all aspects of interventional cardiology according the European curriculum, and covers the evidence-based guidelines for a comprehensive view of the field.
The 4th Edition of this respected resource provides comprehensive, detailed, up-to-date, and clinically oriented coverage of all aspects of percutaneous coronary revascularization. More than 68 leaders in the field offer practical, evidence-based guidance on treating a full range of coronary lesions. They discuss the very latest techniques, devices, and adjunctive therapies, and offer critical appraisals of emerging therapeutic approaches.
Make optimal use of the latest coronary stenting techniques and adjunctive devices with well-rounded guidance from Coronary Stenting, a companion volume to Dr. Topol’s Textbook of Interventional Cardiology. This comprehensive, up-to-date interventional cardiology book keeps you abreast of the latest trial data on efficacy and safety as well as cutting-edge clinical applications in coronary stenting. Achieve optimal outcomes and minimize complications with expert guidance from the foremost teachers and writers in the field of interventional cardiology. Implement the latest knowledge on cutting-edge topics such as drug-eluting stent design; appropriate interpretation of randomized clinical trials and comparative effectiveness studies of coronary stents; the use of fractional flow reserve, intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography to optimize lesion selection and stent implantation; anterograde and retrograde approaches to chronic total occlusions; and percutaneous revascularization of diabetics and patients with left main or multivessel disease. Quickly and easily find the coronary stenting information you need thanks to highly templated chapters and high-quality full-color illustrations that incorporate the latest clinical trial data into recommendations for proper patient and device selection.
Whether you’re studying for the interventional cardiology board exam, preparing for recertification, or simply want a concise review of the field, SCAI Interventional Cardiology Review, 3rd Edition, brings you up to date with recent changes in interventional cardiology while also preparing you for exam success. Written by global experts who are Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) members and leaders, coverage includes all topics on the exam, with the addition of new review questions, new topics, and revised information throughout.
From new research and equipment to new procedures, applications, and approaches, the field of interventional cardiology is one of the fastest-changing areas in medicine. Increasing data and recent technological advances have resulted in exciting changes – and an even greater need for cutting-edge, authoritative guidance on current practice. Textbook of Interventional Cardiology, 8th Edition, covers the theories, trends, and applications of diagnostic and interventional cardiology that cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, referring physicians, and advanced practitioners need to know.
