At one time, many children born with congenital heart disease (CHD) suffered from issues that carried fatal prognoses. But that's changing, thanks to technological advances. Interventions in Structural, Valvular, and Congenital Heart Disease, Second Edition guides you throught the interventional treatment of congenital, valvular, and structural heart disease in the children and adults. The book emphasizes the practical aspects of procedures and covers other important areas such as indications and patient selection, potential pitfalls, and complications. See What's New in the Second Edition: Contributions from new authors who are pioneers in structural interventions in adults and transcatheter aortic valve replacement Expanded emphasis on the importance of imaging alongside the technical details of equipment and its safe and effective delivery Coverage of emerging techniques at the forefront of interventional treatment such as fetal interventions, hybrid procedures, and mitral valve repair Greater understanding, technical knowhow, and wider availability of catheters, balloons, delivery systems, and devices have spread intervention into the realm of acquired valve disease, degenerative disease of the aorta, paravalve leakage, postinfarction ventricular septal defects, and closure of the left atrial appendage. The book draws together expert interventionists from throughout the world to present approaches to congenital and structural heart disease that results in better outcomes for patients.

Percutaneous Interventions for Congenital Heart Disease is written for pediatric cardiologists specializing in interventional cardiology and need a step-by-step guide to carrying out procedures, as well as adult cardiologists. Covering all kinds of interventions in congenital heart disease and the new field of structural heart disease, the book examines: Acquired valvular heart disease Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defects PFO closure Closure of the left atrial appendage Paravalvular leak closure Techniques for treating diseases of the aorta Hybrid procedures An essential text on how to perform interventional cardiology for congenital heart disease in both the pediatric and adult patient, this expertly written work will help to overcome barriers between pediatric and adult cardiologists, and pave the way for new cardiovascular interventionalists.

Written for pediatric cardiologists who want to specialize in interventional cardiology and need a step-by-step guide to carrying out procedures, this practical text is also aimed at adult cardiologists who want to learn more than just 'shooting for the coronaries'.
Addressing this need, all kinds of interventions in congenital heart disease and the new field of 'structural heart disease' are covered, including
acquired valvular heart disease
post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defects
PFO closure
closure of the left atrial appendage
paravalvular leak closure
techniques to treat diseases of the aorta
hybrid procedures
The only recent text on how to perform interventional cardiology for congenital heart disease in both the pediatric and adult patient, this expertly written work will help to overcome barriers between pediatric and adult cardiologists, and pave the way for a new specialist, the cardiovascular interventionalist.

Created by world-renown editors who have assembled a stellar team, a Who 's Who of pediatric and adult cardiologists, surgeons, and interventionalists who offer the reader pearls of wisdom based on daily practice in the cath lab, this practical guide discusses methods to overcoming complications in the interventional treatment of congenital and structural heart disease for invasive cardiologists in the pediatric and adult fields.

The advice of the text is practical, and full descriptions and illustrations are presented about current technology and how it has revolutionized the treatment of congenital and structural heart defects.
