INTERVENTIONS IN STRUCTURAL VALVULAR AND CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE 2ED WITH ACCESS CODE (PB 2015) Paperback

In the past, many children born with congenital heart disease (CHD) faced life-threatening conditions, but advances in technology have changed that. Interventions in Structural, Valvular, and Congenital Heart Disease, Second Edition provides a comprehensive guide to the interventional treatment of congenital, valvular, and structural heart disease in both children and adults. The book focuses on the practical aspects of procedures, as well as key topics such as patient selection, indications, potential pitfalls, and complications. What's new in the second edition includes contributions from new authors who are pioneers in adult structural interventions and transcatheter aortic valve replacement. It places greater emphasis on the role of imaging in conjunction with the technical details of equipment and its safe and effective use. The book also covers emerging techniques, such as fetal interventions, hybrid procedures, and mitral valve repair. With improved technology, including catheters, balloons, delivery systems, and devices, interventions are now being applied to treat acquired valve diseases, degenerative aortic disease, paravalve leakage, postinfarction ventricular septal defects, and the closure of the left atrial appendage. Drawing on the expertise of global interventionists, this book provides valuable insights into the treatment of congenital and structural heart diseases, resulting in improved outcomes for patients.
