Catheter Interventions For Structural Heart Disease An Issue Of Cardiology Clinics

This issue of Cardiology Clinics covers several interventional procedures for structural cardiac problems, including aortic and mitral valvuloplasty, percutaneous defect closure, percutaneous mitral repair, percutaneous perivalvular leak closure, and transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Anesthesia and imaging for structural heart intervention are also discussed, making this issue a valuable resource for cardiologists who perform interventional procedures or manage patients who undergo these procedures.

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.

Guest edited by Dr. Daniel Levi, this issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics will cover several key areas of interest related to Congenital Heart Disease Intervention. This issue is one of four selected each year by our series Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Matthew Price of Scripps Translational Science Center. Articles in this issue include, but are not limited to: Current Transcatheter Approaches for the Treatment of Aortic Coarctation in Children and Adults, Biodegradable Stents for Congenital Heart Disease, State of the Art ASD Closure Devices for Congenital Heart, New PDA Closure Devices and Techniques, Lymphatic Interventions, VSD Closure Devices, Techniques and Outcomes, Pulmonary Artery and Bronchial Stenting: Available Devices, Techniques and Outcomes, and Transcatheter Valve, and Interventions for Adults with Congenital Heart Disease.

Interventional cardiology refers to the catheter-based treatment of cardiovascular diseases and is one of the fastest growing fields in medicine. This updated text addresses recent advances in structural heart interventions, in particular aortic and mitral valve procedures. The advent of newer technologies presents both opportunities and challenges for the cardiologist to treat patients optimally. Interventional cardiologists are now at the forefront of peripheral and structural heart interventions. This new edition focuses on tailoring treatment to individual patients, taking into account specific risk factors and comorbidities, and appropriate use of devices. This second edition also provides useful tools, such as treatment algorithms, evidence tables, charts, tables, and illustrations to enhance the value of this volume as a practical reference tool. The online edition also includes several "how-to" videos.

Structural heart disease interventions are a diverse group of novel treatments that have evolved from a small number of procedures to an impressive array of new approaches to diseases that have been traditionally managed by surgery and medical therapy. This book has been prepared for use by physicians and non-physicians who have an interest in SHD interventions and desire a practical, comprehensive, and clinical summary of established and emerging percutaneous interventions. The chapters are authored by recognized experts from around the world. There are five major sections including: 1) Core Knowledge in SHD Intervention 2) Specialized Skills for the Interventionalist 3) Closure of Congenital and Acquired Defects in Adults 4) Transcatheter Therapy for Valvular Disease 5) Specialized Procedures Features Include: Extensive images to present anatomical complexities and diversity including some interactive 3-D graphics Presentation of transcatheter mitral valve repair Chapter on how to set up & credential a SHD program

This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics, guest edited by Dr. Hitinder Gurm, will discuss Renal Disease and coronary, peripheral and structural interventions.

Provides useful tools, such as treatment algorithms, charts, tables, and illustrations to enhance the volume's value as a practical reference tool. Incorporates new structural heart interventional technology and provides several "how-to" videos in procedural chapters. Incorporates evidence tables in each procedural chapter and features evidence-based discussion on patient election, vascular access, and the general principles of coronary, peripheral, and structural heart interventions. Provides clinicians with concise, easily accessible guidance on the pre-procedural, procedural and post-procedural aspects of coronary, peripheral, and structural heart interventions in general situations and in various specific clinical settings."--Provided by publisher.
