Complications of Interventional Cardiovascular Procedures: A Case-Based Atlas

This book is a comprehensive atlas that covers the potential complications for the full range of interventional procedures. The emphasis throughout is on a practical, useful presentation with an “”atlas”” type of format. Each complication is presented first with a case example: case description; how it was dealt with; why it happened; and a discussion of whether and how it could have been avoided in this case. Following is a broader presentation providing more context on why the specific complication may occur; how to anticipate it; how to avoid or minimise it if possible and how to address it if it occurs. The book is concise and presents information in bulleted format, for efficient learning and quick clinical reference. The book includes a companion DVD of the video loops of the procedures.
