Grossman & Baim's Cardiac Catheterization, Angiography, and Intervention, 8e is the premier reference on cardiac catheterization, and appeals to seasoned practitioners, residents and cardiology fellows. This title reflects the rapid evolution and growing clinical use of hemodynamic data and of imaging and interventional techniques.

An easily accessible, ready reference for the entire cardiac team, Grossman & Baim’s Handbook of Cardiac Catheterization, Angiography, and Intervention is an essential resource in today’s cardiac catheterization lab. This practical handbook, edited by Dr. Mauro Moscucci with contributions from associate editor, Marc D. Feldman, follows the bestselling text, Grossman & Baim's Cardiac Catheterization, Angiography, and Intervention, providing fast, convenient access to authoritative information in a portable handbook format.

The premier reference on cardiac catheterization is now in its thoroughly revised Seventh Edition, reflecting the rapid evolution and growing clinical use of interventional techniques. The completely revamped interventional section includes new material on treatment of pediatric and adult congenital heart disease, as well as on coronary atherectomy, thrombectomy, distal embolic protection devices, bare metal and drug-eluting stents, and percutaneous valve therapies. Other significantly revised chapters include pulmonary angiography, endomyocardial biopsy, and circulatory assist devices. This edition's companion DVD features more than 100 digital cases, plus more than 20 animations showing the actions of various invasive and interventional devices.

The first edition of this text was published 25 years ago as Cardiac Catheterization and Angiography; the fourth edition saw a name change to Cardiac Catheterization, Angiography, and Intervention, and this sixth edition changes names again to recognize Dr. William Grossman's (U. of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine) pioneering efforts and continued contributions. Coverage includes general principles and basic techniques, hemodynamic principles, angiographic techniques, evaluation of cardiac function, special catheter techniques, interventional techniques, and profiles of specific disorders.
