Diagnostic and Therapeutic Cardiac Catheterization
Description:... The Third Edition of this highly acclaimed text lives up to the goal of its predecessors--to be the most complete cardiac catheterization text available. Six entirely new chapters cover issues in catheterization laboratory quality management; intracoronary ultrasound; coronary angioscopy; introduction to coronary artery stenting; results using coronary stents, and anticoagulation and antiplatelet regimens during and following coronary interventions. The other chapters are substantially updated and revised, with new information on revised training and maintenance guidelines; revised quality assurance guidelines; and new interventional techniques, Doppler flow wire data; results of the latest relevant clinical trials; complex lesions; vein grafts, lasers, aspiration thrombectomy; graph arteriopathy, and stented grafts for dissection of the descending aorta.
