Long description:

Interventional cardiology has evolved dramatically over the past decade, and this new edition addresses recent advances in coronary, structural, congenital, and endovascular arenas. New chapters cover mechanical circulatory support devices, including cardiogenic shock, intravascular lithotripsy and calcified lesion management, endovascular therapy for pulmonary embolism, and percutaneous therapies for tricuspid and pulmonary valve disease. This book features evidence‑based discussion on patient selection, vascular access, intervention principles, and optimal post‑procedure management, making it a practical reference guide for clinicians.

Key Features:

• Incorporates treatment algorithms, charts, evidence‑based tables, and illustrations


• Provides clinicians with concise, easily accessible guidance on the preprocedural, procedural, and postprocedural aspects of coronary, peripheral, venous, and structural heart interventions in general situations and various specific clinical settings


• Features new chapters on the rapidly growing field of venous and pulmonary embolism interventions
