Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Tips and Tricks to Avoid Failure

Edited By Patrick W. Serruys, Alain Cribier, John G. Webb Copyright 2010

    Written by pioneers in the field of interventional cardiology, this critical text provides readers with the information and expert guidance needed to perform safe and effective transcatheter aortic valve implantations (TAVI). The book is supplemented by visual aids, including more than 200 color illustrations and downloadable resources with bonus footage that detail each preprocedural, intraprocedural, and postprocedural step of TAVI—enabling readers to utilize TAVI devices correctly to improve patient results. The book focuses on the CoreValve and Edwards devices, but also provides practical, basic information applicable to any transcatheter aortic valve device.
