Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a slow and progressive circulation disorder. It may involve disease in any of the blood vessels outside of the heart and diseases of the lymph vessels—arteries, veins, or lymphatic vessels. This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics examines the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this pandemic disease.
This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics, guest edited by Dr. Herbert Aronow, will discuss Updates in Peripheral Vascular Intervention. This issue is one of four selected each year by the series Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Matthew Price. Topics discussed in this issue will include: Vascular access, alternative vascular access and vascular closure/hemostasis, Wires, catheters and sheaths, balloons and stents, Plaque modification (eg., atherectomy, lithoplasty) devices, Embolic protection, Renal and mesenteric artery intervention, Iliac intervention, Fem-pop intervention, Below-the-knee intervention, Acute limb ischemia intervention, Catheter-directed therapy for pulmonary embolism, Intervention for liofemoral DVT and May Thurner, Venous ablation, among others.

This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics is devoted to Carotid and Cerebrovascular Disease. Expert authors review the most current information available about diagnosing cerebral artery disease and managing carotid and cerebral artery stenosis. Keep up-to-the-minute with the latest developments in cerebrovascular disease interventions.
This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics reviews pharmacologic agents currently used to treat patients in the cath lab. All the pharmaceutical knowledge an interventionalist needs is summarized in this handy reference.
This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Guest Edited by Dr. Brian O'Neill, will focus on Mechanical Circulatory Support. This issue is one of four selected each year by the series Consulting Editor, Dr. Marvin H. Eng. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) plays an important role in the management of a variety of patients with a range of conditions in interventional cardiology. As many times the question of MCS arises in the most critical of patients, an understanding of each of the devices along with which patients may potentially benefit is vital. This issue aims to provide a review of the various options of MCS, as well as a variety of scenarios in which MCS may play a beneficial role in the management of patients.
This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics will explore Updates in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Curated by the series Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Matthew J. Price, this issue will cover topics and advances in the field that are relevant for practicing clinicians. This issue is one of four selected each year by Dr. Price. The volume will include articles on: Current Concepts in Intraprocedural Pharmacology During PCI; Periprocedural Myocardial Infarction in Contemporary Practice; Newer Generation Metallic Stents: Design, Performance Characteristics, and Outcomes; Distal Transradial Access for Coronary Angiography and Intervention; Clinical Outcomes Data for iFR-guided PCI; Culprit-only or Complete Revascularization During STEMI in Patients with and Without Shock; Technical Approaches to Left Main Coronary Intervention: Contemporary Best Practices; Robotic Assisted Percutaneous Coronary Intervention; Orbital Atherectomy: A Comprehensive Review; and Percutaneous revascularization of spontaneous coronary artery dissection, among others.
Among the most recently developed procedures for treating heart disease in a minimally invasive way are the techniques for percutaneous treatment of valvular heart disease. These are important advances because the only alternative is open heart surgery, which is not an option for many high-risk patients. This issue provides a detailed description of several percutaneous procedures, including trans-catheter aortic valve implantation.
Interventional cardiologists are able to perform minimally invasive procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting, due to imaging technologies that allow them to see inside the heart and blood vessels without open surgery. Such imaging often requires injection of contrast media, which are generally safe, but for some patients with drug sensitivities or compromised kidney function, contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) can result. CIN is a major complication that can increase in-hospital mortality. This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinica addresses the management, treatment, and prevention of renal complications in the catheterization laboratory.
