Primary angioplasty is a life-saving, minimally invasive emergency
procedure increasingly used in the treatment of acute myocardial
infarction. As the procedure further proves its effectiveness, it
is imperative that all cardiologists have a comprehensive
understanding of the major issues surrounding primary angioplasty.
This easy-to-use, clinically focused text is an essential reference
for those hoping to achieve this understanding. A valuable
educational tool, this text fully explores the vital concepts of
primary angioplasty.

This easy-to-use, clinically focused text is an essential reference
for those hoping to achieve this understanding. A valuable
educational tool, this text fully explores the vital concepts of
primary angioplasty. Key features include: * Fundamental
examination of acute myocardial infarction -- specifically looks at
symptoms, diagnosis, and pre-hospital care * Assessment of various
Primary PCI techniques -- explores stenting options, balloon
angioplasty and multivessel intervention * An exploration of
mechanical aspects of primary angioplasty that includes chapters on
possible mechanical complications and circulatory support *
Specialty chapters on adjunctive pharmacologic therapies, stem cell
therapy, the treatment of diabetic patients, and the role of
surgery in acute myocardial infarction * An in-depth discussion of
heart attack treatment networks -- looks at North American and
European models and economic factors
The field of device closure of defects of the inter-atrial septum
has expanded rapidly over the past ten years, and it is likely that
there will be a further sharp increase in numbers of procedures
being performed in the near future. With more and more adult
patients presenting with this problem, it is imperative that
interventional cardiologists know how to deal with it, and yet
there is no currently available comprehensive text covering this
subject. Addressing this need, Percutaneous Device Closure of the
Atrial Septum discusses all aspects of the growing field of
transcatheter device closure of defects of the atrial septum. Key
areas covered include: * issues related to the anatomy of the
atrial septum * imaging of atrial septal defects and patent foramen
ovale * the different types of defect that are amenable to
percutaneous device closure. With an international team of expert
contributors reviewing current imaging techniques and the common
techniques used for closure, this unique work gathers together the
world leaders in device closure to assess the individual products
that are available. Practical, extensive, and full of invaluable
insights from experienced practitioners, this text will provide the
interventional cardiologist with a useful resource with which to
embark upon this important technique. Table of Contents
