Percutaneous Approaches to Valvular Heart Disease, An Issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics


Book Description

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.




Transcatheter Mitral Valve Intervention, An Issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics


Book Description

This issue of the Interventional Cardiology Clinics edited by Jason Rogers covers various approaches, techniques, and therapies for Transcatheter Mitral Value Intervention. Topics include, but are not limited to: Echocardiographic Imaging of the Mitral Valve for Transcatheter Interventions, Use of Computed Tomography to Guide Mitral Interventions, Transseptal Puncture for Mitral Interventions, MitraClip Therapy for Mitral Regurgitation: Primary MR, Coronary Sinus-Based Approach to Mitral Regurgitation, and Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement.




Percutaneous Interventions in Women, An Issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics


Book Description

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among US women over the age of 65, resulting in more deaths than all forms of cancer combined. Women are less likely to survive heart attacks than are men, possibly because symptoms in women may differ and may be less recognizable. In addition, women consistently tend to have worse clinical outcomes in percutaneous coronary interventions than do men. For these reasons, an issue on percutaneous interventions in women is timely.




Congenital and Structural Heart Disease, An Issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics


Book Description

This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics covers congenital and structural heart disease. Expert authors review the most current information available about treating a variety of conditions, including coarctation of the aorta, transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement, percutaneous mitral valve interventions, and catheter interventions for pulmonary artery stenosis. Complex interventions for adults with congenital heart disease are also discussed. Keep up-to-the-minute with the latest developments in this important aspect of interventional cardiology practice.




Chronic Total Occlusion, An issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics


Book Description

Chronic total occlusion is the complete blockage of a coronary artery. Opening up such blocked passageways is one of the most difficult challenges for coronary interventionists. The procedures take longer than most interventional procedures and frequently have complications. Articles in this issue review the state of the art in percutaneous treatment of chronic total occlusion.




STEMI Interventions, An issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics


Book Description

In ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the coronary artery is completely blocked by a blood clot. It is the most serious type of heart attack. The best treatment for STEMI patients is to have the blocked artery opened by balloon inflation within 90 minutes of arriving at a hospital. The 90-minute window is called "door-to-balloon time. The shorter the door-to-balloon time, the greater the chance of survival. Treatment of this life-threatening illness is reviewed in this issue.




Intracardiac Echocardiography


Book Description

Intracardiac Echocardiography is the first echocardiographic textbook of its kind to specifically cover ICE. Discussing all aspects of intracardiac ultrasound, it allows readers to perfect ICE image acquisition and helps to guide interpretation of this information during interventional and electrophysiologic procedures. Unique and informative, the text explores: introductory echo physics currently available intracardiac ultrasound systems basic image acquisition the role of ICE in both the interventional and electrophysiology laboratory, as well as in the diagnostic setting. Featuring expert commentary by leaders in the field, the book also includes high quality echocardiographic images illustrating how ICE is used in a wide variety of procedures such as transseptal catheterization, PFO and ASD closure, atrial fibrillation ablation procedures, and many others.
