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.- Focuses on the latest treatment protocols for managing patients at every level of complexity.- Includes all-new chapters on Coronary Stenting, Diagnosis and Treatment of Coronary Microvascular Disease, Percutaneous Transcatheter Valve in Valve Implantation, and Percutaneous Tricuspid Valve Repair.- Features hundreds of new illustrations, tables, and boxes for visual clarity and quick reference.- Offers expanded coverage of transcatheter aortic valve interventions with extensive updates on practice implications.- Discusses hot topics such new atherectomy devices, percutaneous mitral valve replacement, and percutaneous treatment of paravalvular leak.- Provides the unique insights of expert leaders in the field who have pioneered today''s innovative devices and techniques and lend their own analysis of practical, evidence-based clinical applications.- Presents the most recent data on how genomics and genetics impact interventional cardiology.- Provides an in-depth understanding of cardiology, making it well suited for cardiology and interventional cardiology exam preparation.- Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

Increasing data and recent technological advances have resulted in exciting changes in the field of interventional cardiology, from new research and equipment to new procedures, applications, and approaches. Textbook of Interventional Cardiology, 9th Edition, brings you fully up to date with the latest treatment protocols for managing patients at every level of complexity. Drs. Paul S. Teirstein, Matthew J. Price, and Eric J. Topol lead a team of contributing authors who provide expert coverage of this rapidly changing field for fellows and practicing interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, referring physicians, and advanced practitioners.

Angioplasty has completely transformed the treatment of coronary artery disease and is widely used, with more than 800,000 procedures performed worldwide per year. However, the enthusiasm for angioplasty is shadowed by restenosis, which remains a critical problem after the procedure, resulting in clinical recurrence in over a third of patients. Recently, the mechanisms of restenosis have been completely reappraised with an enriched understanding that the original concept of neointimal hyperplasia may not be accounting for the bulk of the problem. There is a need to heighten understanding of the remodelling process at the molecular, cellular, and arterial level. Vascular remodelling is a well established concept in the field of atherosclerosis and hypertension, but only in recent years has its applicability to the field of restenosis become pivotal. Accordingly, the editors perceived the need to assemble this book dedicated to the concept of coronary artery remodelling in restenosis, in order to clearly review the experiments leading to the remodelling hypothesis and integrate this with the neointimal hyperplasia (tumour) model for the development of the restenotic lesion.The authors of this book present their experience to facilitate the understanding of the mechanisms for coronary restenosis and remodelling. The various experimental models, clinical issues, and basic mechanisms are reviewed in detail, resulting in a fresh approach to a vexing clinical problem. The book should be useful to the physician and trainee who have an interest in restenosis, and specifically in the major pathophysiologic process which determines the fate of arterial healing in patients following percutaneous coronary revascularization.

Recently, the mechanisms of restenosis have been completely reappraised with an enriched understanding that the original concept of neointimal hyperplasia may not be accounting for the bulk of the problem.

Vascular remodeling is a well established concept in the field of atherosclerosis and hypertension, but only in recent years has its applicability to the field of restenosis become pivotal.

Arterial Remodeling: A Critical Factor in Restenosis will be useful to the physician and trainee who have an interest in restenosis, and specifically in the major pathophysiologic process which determines the fate of arterial healing in patients following percutaneous coronary revascularization. It is hoped that this book will lay the foundation for more effective therapies that will reduce the chance of constrictive remodeling and improve the long-term efficacy of non-surgical coronary revascularization in the future.

Written for cardiologists, angiologists, radiologists, surgeons and other physicians who care for patients with vascular disease, this important new book provides a comprehensive, integrated review of all relevant vascular topics in one volume. The emerging team approach to vascular therapeutics and cooperative management is emphasized. Each topic is reviewed and discussed by teams of leading vascular medical, interventional and surgical specialists.

The textbook provides an interdisciplinary and integrated perspective of modern vascular cure. Written by experts the text proceeds from fundamental principles to advanced concepts. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on different basic concepts of vascular cure. All fundamental principles of the area are clearly explained to facilitate vascular diagnostics and treatment in clinical practice. It is aimed at junior practitioners and experts.
