Interventions in Structural, Valvular and Congenital Heart Disease

Percutaneous Interventions in Structural, Valvular, and Congenital Heart Disease is a practical guide for the interventional treatment of congenital, valvular, and structural heart disease for invasive cardiologists in the pediatric and adult fields. The book emphasizes the practical aspects of procedures and covers other important areas such as indications and patient selection, potential pitfalls, and complications. The book includes contributions from a team of expert interventionists throughout the world in an effort to draw together, via the common link of catheter technology, an approach to congenital and structural heart disease that results in a new specialist, the cardiovascular interventionist.
