This handbook is a practical guide for interventional cardiology procedures, providing a fast-access reference tool to be consulted in daily practice in the cath lab. Interventional cardiology has become a complex speciality, and this book’s ‘procedure-oriented’ structure will help readers to deploy diagnostic and management strategies and familiarise themselves with procedures and tools. Written by experts in their fields with passion for their daily work, this must-have handbook is an invaluable resource for practising clinicians, fellows and professionals in every cath lab to understand and perform these complex procedures for safety and efficacy.
