The Interventional Cardiology Training Manual
Author: Aung Myat
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319716352
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
This textbook is a readily accessible educational tool for all fellows undertaking subspecialty training in interventional cardiology, while also serving as a refresher to early career interventional cardiologists. The key objective is to equip the reader with an evidence-based expert-led resource focussed primarily on pre-procedural planning, peri-procedural decision-making, and the salient technical aspects of performing safe and effective coronary intervention, the intention being to support the therapeutic decision-making process in the emergency room, coronary care unit or cath lab in order to optimize patient outcome. The Interventional Cardiology Training Manual provides readers with a step-by-step guide to the basic principles underpinning coronary intervention and facilitates rapid access to best practice from the experts, presented in a pragmatic, digestible and concise format. Uniquely, each chapter has been written in a heart center-specific manner, affording the reader an opportunity to learn how individual institutions perform a specific procedure, which algorithms and guidelines they follow and what evidence they draw on to instigate the best possible care for their patients.

Textbook of Catheter-Based Cardiovascular Interventions
Author: Peter Lanzer
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331955994X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1887
Book Description
This book is a fully updated and revised second edition of a highly successful text in which a new concept of knowledge mining, based on explication and transfer of interventional knowledge of experts, has been implemented. The dedicated training program that is set out will serve the needs of all interventional operators, whether cardiologists, vascular surgeons, vascular specialists, or radiologists, enabling them to achieve a consistent expert level across the entire broad spectrum of catheter-based interventions. Operator skills – and in particular decision-making and strategic skills – are the most critical factors for the outcome of catheter-based cardiovascular interventions. Currently, such skills are commonly developed by the empirical trial and error method only. The explicit teaching, training, and learning approach adopted in this book permits the rapid transfer of interventional knowledge and enables individual operators to negotiate steep learning curves and acquire complex skills in a highly efficient manner. It will thereby offer invaluable assistance in meeting successfully the challenges of modern cardiovascular care.

Vascular Brachytherapy
Author: Ron Waksman
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
ISBN: 9780879934132
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 630
Book Description
With the first coronary balloon angioplasty in 1977 came the challenge of the wound healing process of retenosis. Together these events spawned a new field of medicine, vascular brachytherapy, conceived to resolve this leading complication of vascular intervention. In the ensuing 20 year quest to cure restenosis, radiation vascular therapy appears to be the next logical step, but it still needs validation. Just two years after the first edition, this second edition of Vascular Brachytherapy fulfils the promise to provide updated information about the meteoric progress made from recent collaborative investigations within this field. Migrating from ideas and pre-clinical observation to clinical practice, this second edition contains 48 new or revised chapters contributed by well known medical experts from widely disparate fields of medicine. Scientists, cardiologists, radiation safety officers, regulators, engineers and technicians substantiate their observations with clinical and non-clinical data, basic radiation principles and issues from an economic, regulatory and safety perspective. Very little is known about the immediate patient risks, environmental concerns and long term pathobiological responses. For a field which is still in its honeymoon phase due to early technology success, this single volume will serve as a long-range educational tool and trace, giving the field of vascular brachytherapy the intense and continuous evaluation it deserves. For an audience of clinicians, scientists and researchers from all the represented medical disciplines, this book provides in depth information and exposure to subjects within these diverse areas of expertise.

Pages : 230
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date summary of drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology and the role of DCBs in the treatment of coronary and peripheral arterial disease. In addition to clear explanation of how DCBs works, readers will find an enlightening analysis of the mistakes and successes of the past decade and the emergence of the latest delivery systems, which combine a more deliverable device with much improved drug delivery to the vessel wall. The full range of current applications of DCBs are reviewed in detail, drawing on the latest scientific evidence. Due attention is paid to newer devices, with provision of technical insights and documentation of the available clinical data. Ongoing research projects, remaining technical challenges, likely future directions, and reimbursement issues are also carefully considered. This book will be a useful tool for any interventional cardiologist, interventional radiologist, or vascular surgeon who wishes to acquire a deep knowledge of this technology and its application in both coronary and peripheral interventions.
