Atlas Of Cardiac Catheterization For Congenital Heart Disease

This atlas depicts and describes catheter-based interventions across the entire pediatric age range, from fetal life through to early adulthood, with the aim of providing an illustrated step-by-step guide that will help the reader to master these techniques and apply them in everyday practice. Clear instruction is offered on a wide range of procedures, including vascular access, fetal interventions, valve dilatation, angioplasty, stent implantation, defect closure, defect creation, valve implantation, hybrid approaches, and other miscellaneous procedures. The atlas complements the previously published handbook, Cardiac Catheterization for Congenital Heart Disease, by presenting a wealth of photographs, images, and drawings selected or designed to facilitate the planning, performance, and evaluation of diagnostic and interventional procedures in the field of congenital heart disease. It will assist in the safe, efficient performance of these procedures, in decision making, and in the recognition and treatment of complications.

Full-color illustrations and procedural videos guide you step by step through every interventional procedure you’re likely to perform.

Comprises 167 line drawings of congenital heart defects--providing a method of reporting the results of the various cardiac imaging modalities in a detailed, anatomically realistic way, and standardizing the often confusing nomenclature. With the addition of hemodynamic data acquired during cardiac catheterization, the diagrams become accurate and concise anatomical and physiological reports. The Atlas covers many variations and combinations of atrio-ventricular, veno-atrial, and ventriculo-arterial connections; cardiac positions; atrial situs; and left and right aortic arches. Diagrams are easily modified to illustrate any abnormality by using a technique demonstrated in the book. Each diagram comes in duplicate--one labelled, to serve as a reference; and one unlabelled, to be removed, photocopied, and modified.

Rapid developments in congenital heart disease diagnosis and treatment have allowed children with congenital heart disease to survive to adulthood. In particular, advances in pediatric cardiology during the 2000s have shifted the majority of congenital heart disease-related mortalities to adulthood. Consequently, there are now hundreds of thousands of adults with congenital heart defects worldwide. In the near future, cardiologists are expected to encounter a steady increase in patients at grown-up congenital heart centers. This atlas includes representations of common congenital heart defects and complete sets of surgical or transcatheter interventions with the most recent acquisitions. The atlas also provides a selection of diagrams (more than 200 diagrammatic heart figures) from the cardiac catheterization laboratory of a pediatric or grown-up cardiology unit that can be easily modified by various software programs. With the addition of hemodynamic data acquired during cardiac catheterization, the diagrams become accurate anatomical and physiological reports. Simple line or symbol-based drawings, rather than artistic illustrations, have been used in figures to facilitate sharing and customization. In conclusion, I believe that this atlas is a necessary reference with great utility for cardiologists, heart surgeons, radiologists, clinical staff, medical students, nursing personnel, patients and their families. Note:There is currently only one diagrammatic atlas in the medical world (Mullins Atlas, Publisher: Wiley-Liss, 1991, product dimensions: 9.6 x 1.4 x 11.4 inches and $750.00). There have been many new interventional procedures and surgical techniques in the field of pediatric and adult Cardiology in the 21st century. Since this atlas was prepared nearly 30 years ago, it naturally needs revision today.https://www.amazon.com/Congenital-Heart-Disease-Diagrammatic-Atlas/dp/0471588172

Cardiac catheterization has long been a central diagnostic modality in the evaluation of children, adolescents, and adults with congenital heart disease, and in children with acquired heart disease. Over the past two decades, transcatheter interventions have become equally important in the treatment of pediatric and congenital heart disease. Some transcatheter therapies have become established as the standard of care for congenital cardiovascular anomalies previously managed surgically, others serve to supplement surgery in the integrated management of complex lesions, and still others are in their infancy, as pediatric interventional cardiology continues to advance in step with the broader field of pediatric cardiovascular medicine. Since the previous edition of this book, new technologies and techniques have been introduced to the field of pediatric interventional cardiology, much has been learned about established transcatheter therapies, and there has been a substantial increase in the volume of published data on outcomes of transcatheter procedures in congenital and pediatric heart disease. With increasing experience, the role of interventional catheterization has become solidified as an integral component of the comprehensive management of patients with essentially all forms of congenital heart disease. Cardiac catheterization has also become established as a distinct subspecialty within the discipline of pediatric cardiology, and at many centers has become the purview of cardiologists who have received specialized training in interventional catheterization and whose practice is focused on catheterization. This book is targeted to trainees and established interventional cardiologists alike, and is intended as a comprehensive reference for the clinical practice of diagnostic and interventional cardiology in pediatric and congenital heart disease. In the organization of this book, a combination of procedure-based and problem-based approaches has been employed. The structure of the book has been updated to make it more reader friendly, chapters have been added to address new techniques and problems in the field, and greater emphasis has been placed on evaluation of outcomes of transcatheter interventions in congenital heart disease. Section 1 covers the fundamentals of cardiac catheterization, with chapters devoted to pre-procedure patient evaluation, sedation and anesthesia, vascular access and related issues, catheterization equipment ands its use, hemodynamic evaluation, angiography, radiation and radiation safety, and echocardiography in the catheterization lab. Sections 2 through 4 include procedure-based chapters that are organized according to the technical type of intervention. Section 2 is devoted to transcatheter interventions for obstructive lesions, including valvar stenoses and vascular obstructions. Section 3 includes chapters that cover interventions to close various pathologic intracardiac communications and vascular anomalies. Section 4 includes chapters covering interventions performed to create or enlarge intracardiac communications, as well as other interventions. Section 5 focuses on the applications of catheterization and transcatheter interventions in the evaluation and management of specific patient populations. This problem-based or patient-based focus, which is substantially expanded from the previous edition of the book, reflects the expanding role of catheterization in the comprehensive management of pediatric and congenital heart disease, and addresses emerging applications of transcatheter interventions, including management of the patient receiving extracorporeal circulatory support, hybrid transcatheter-surgical interventions, and prenatal cardiac intervention. Section 6 includes two chapters that cover outcome assessment and regulatory issues pertinent to the pediatric cardiology in general and interventional cardiology in particular.

The American Heart Association published Maude Abbott's Atlas of Congenital Cardiac Disease in 1936. The Atlas was an important contribution to the understanding of cardiac defects and helped provide the stimulus for rapid advances in the diagnostic, physiologic, and surgical aspects of congenital heart disease over the following decades. These advances have since progressed to such a degree that, given current radiologic imaging and surgical techniques, many of the anomalies illustrated in the Atlas are rarely seen as complete morphologic specimens. This reprinting of the Atlas underlines the importance of Abbott's contribution for the present generation. This reprint includes a short history of Abbott's life and how she came to create the Atlas, including a discussion of the material she used for her 1934 London Exhibit, which served as the basis for the Atlas. The original text and illustrations are enhanced by color prints of fifty-five specimens in the Abbott Collection of the McGill Pathology Museum. Re-publication of the Atlas in 2006 coincides with the 100th anniversary of the the International Academy of Pathology, which Abbott co-founded.

The second edition of this handbook is an up-to-date guide to the application of catheter-based interventions across the entire age range of congenital heart disease patients, from fetal life through to adulthood. It considers the changes and improvements that have occurred during the last few years in terms of new procedures, new tools and devices (in particular in the field of valves), new imaging and pre-procedural strategies, such as 3D-printing, 3D- rotational angiography and fusion imaging. It provides readers with clear instructions on techniques for vascular access, valve dilatation, angioplasty, stent implantation, defect closure, defect creation, pulmonary valve implantation and on the hybrid approach, as well as on various other procedures. As in the first edition, topics are approached using a step-by-step format, ensuring that readers can immediately access the information relevant to their daily practice. Numerous explanatory figures and drawings are included in each chapter in order to further clarify how to plan, perform and evaluate diagnostic and interventional procedures in the field of congenital heart disease. It also highlights important tips and tricks that will assist health operators in achieving optimal outcomes, and includes an appendix with additional general equations and BSA, and oxygen consumption charts. This practical guide will be a valuable resource for surgeons and cardiologists in their daily clinical practice.
