Calcified and Fibrotic Lesions 16. Ablative Techniques 17. Direct Myocardial Revascularization: Surgical and Catheter-based Approaches 18. Stent Retrieval 19. Adjunctive Therapies in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions 20. Local Drug Delivery using Drug-eluting Stents 21. The Significance of Biochemical Markers for Myocardial Damage in Interventional Procedures
Given the diversity and complexity of coronary lesions with which the interventional cardiologist has to tackle, the editors and contributors offer their expert opinion on the most sensible way to overcome plaque and thrombus in the coronary arteries. From simple to complicated anatomy, the direct approach to achieving optimal results is clearly described and illustrated. Each chapter focuses on a specific problem with top quality angiograms illustrating the various coronary lesions.
The editors, all experts and pioneers in the field of interventional cardiology from stenting to myocardial revascularization, have assembled a team of internationally well-recognized contributors to offer their practical advice on how to approach lesions in a straight-forward, pragmatic fashion.
