Innovation in interventional cardiology extends well beyond coronary stenting.

The issue facing physicians today is how to gain experience in new techniques and what can be done to make their learning curve as short as possible.

The aim of this work is to provide the reader with a book that is at the same time both clinical and yet practically oriented, covering interventional techniques of special interest to the interventionalist, and focusing on those common problems/dilemmas that beset the cathlab operator.

The online version features the entire content of the printed textbook, with 26 chapters covering clinical presentation and investigations. A glimpse into the future: fly through the movies and enjoy new images.
