Percutaneous Interventions for Structural Heart Disease

This new edition of Percutaneous Intervention for Structural Heart Disease provides a comprehensive overview of the percutaneous techniques and technologies most commonly used in structural heart interventions. It aims to update readers not only on current standard practices but also on emerging topics such as percutaneous treatment of tricuspid regurgitation and paravalvular leak closure: recent advances are thoroughly addressed, including the expanded use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe aortic stenosis regardless of surgical risk, and the implementation of percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair for functional mitral regurgitation.  It also emphasizes patient selection, preoperative evaluation, device choice, and strategies for optimizing outcomes. Interventional procedures for aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, left atrial appendage closure, patent foramen ovale closure, and closure of interatrial and interventricular defects are presented in a step-by-step format, accompanied by detailed and informative illustrations.

The contributing authors are recognized experts with extensive experience in both catheterization laboratories and surgical operating rooms.

Ideal for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and interventional radiologists, this book is an invaluable resource for those seeking to stay abreast of the latest developments in the field. Its expert authors, with extensive laboratory and surgical experience, ensure that readers gain practical insights and a deep understanding of the evolving landscape of structural interventional cardiology.
