Atlas of Percutaneous Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair

From the book reviews: Selected as "Highly Commended" at BMA Medical Book Awards for 2014. "The style of writing is clear to understand, even for those with relatively little specific prior expertise in the field. This book will be very helpful as a source of reference for all those who will be involved in the procedure. ... The book fills a gap in the market as no equivalent book exists to my knowledge, collating all this relevant data, expert advice and case examples in one place." (BMA Medical Book Awards, September, 2014)
