Complications of Interventional Cardiovascular Procedures is a comprehensive atlas that covers the potential complications for the full range of interventional procedures. The emphasis throughout is on a practical, useful presentation with an "atlas" type of format. Each complication is presented first with a case example: case description; how it was dealt with; why it happened; and a discussion of whether and how it could have been avoided in this case. Following is a broader presentation providing more context on why the specific complication may occur; how to anticipate it; how to avoid or minimize it if possible and how to address it if it occurs. Key points in bulleted format are presented as "Lessons" highlighted throughout the text. Complications of Interventional Cardiovascular Procedures is concise and presents information succinctly for efficient learning and quick clinical reference. A companion DVD presents selected video loops of the procedures. Complications of Interventional Cardiovascular Procedures Features: Practical bullet point presentation, easy to learn from or review before procedures are performed Hundreds of high quality images Editors and contributors are internationally recognized interventional experts Companion DVD of selected video loops for the procedures System Requirements The accompanying DVD runs on Internet Explorer 9 and above, Firefox 3.5 and above, Safari 3 and above, Chrome 3 and above, Opera 10.5 and above, and all HTML 5 browsers.

Here in one cohesive and educational volume are over 275 key cases from the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Intervention's popular "Images in Intervention" column. Carefully selected and organized topically with added commentaries, this collection presents cases that are instructional, unusual, and multifaceted, ranging from the most common to very rare. The images and explanations, both in print and online, give a highly visual and informative understanding of some of the most complex interventional cases and their complications. Cases chosen by Dr. Spencer King, former editor of JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions and a leader in the field of interventional cardiology, along with colleague Dr. Michael McDaniel, covering a 10-year period in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions. Unique coverage spans the full range of cardiovascular interventions, including coronary anomalies, pathologic conditions and complications; structural heart disease conditions and solutions; and technical approaches to unusual clinical situations. Each case includes one or more interventional images and a narrative explanation on best practice guidelines for insertion, placement, tips and pitfalls, and problem solving. Cases are organized topically and indexed by diagnosis, symptoms, and complications for multiple ways of easily accessing content. Videos offer real-time visualization of fourth dimension conditions for an improved understanding of complex and innovative approaches. Images include high-quality angiographic, echocardiographic, optical tomographic, CT, MRI, histologic, and other images. One-of-a-kind, highly instructive coverage of complex cases, originated by an international team of leading experts, ideally suited for interventional cardiologists, interventional radiologists, fellows, and all members of the cardiac cath lab team. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

This practical handbook is based on an internal working manual developed by staff and fellows at Mount Sinai Heart Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratory, renowned for its high-volume and low complication complex coronary procedures. The Practical Handbook of Interventional Cardiology captures the knowledge and methodological know-how from leaders in interventional cardiology, it intends to guide users in a stepwise, methodical and practical approach through various cardiac interventional procedures in order to achieve maximum patient safety and improved outcomes. From patient selection, preoperative work-up, setting up equipment to step-by-step illustrations of various procedural details and troubleshooting, this handbook captures all the details necessary to perform the simplest to the most complex cardiac interventions. The book is designed for cardiologists and trainees who desire an efficient way to review the steps of various cardiac interventional procedures and a quick, reliable reference for everyday use.

In 1999 the American Board of Interventional Medicine is offering, for the first time, what will be an annual certification examination in Interventional Cardiology. Board certification is designed to recognize excellence among physicians specializing in interventional cardiology. Interventional Cardiology: The Essentials for the Boards is the first book to be written in accordance with the American Board of Interventional Medicine’s own guidelines. The book is structured to accurately represent the balance of subject matter that can be expected on the certification examination. Care is taken to cover the essential points in each individual topic, highlighting state-of-the-art therapy and unresolved issues. Most chapters are presented in a question-and-answer format, along with a chapter of clinical case descriptions covering a broad range of clinical and interventional problems. A special chapter of "Interventional Cardiology Pearls" provides condensed, easily digested summaries of the most useful information in the previous chapters. In addition, it is the first book of its kind to include a detailed Table of Contents and a Subject Index, making it easy for the examinee to locate specific topics. This book will be of great help to interventional cardiologist specialists preparing for the board certification exams. General cardiologists, cardiology nurses, cardiac catheterization lab support staff, and general cardiology fellows interested in increasing their understanding of intervention and related topics will also find this work useful.
