Endovascular and Hybrid Therapies for Structural Heart and Aortic Disease

Transcatheter valve repair and replacement is one of the hottest topics in cardiology and cardiac surgery. Substantial research has underscored the efficacy of emergent minimally-invasive procedures, and as a result transcatheter techniques are rapidly complementing surgical options as the treatment of choice for operators who treat patients with aortic and structural heart disease.

This new book fills the need for an authoritative and practical guide to the latest endovascular and hybrid surgical techniques. Edited by two of the most experienced practitioners in the field, it covers everything interventionalists and surgeons need to know in order to master leading-edge therapies, from equipment selection and preparation to stepwise guidance on individual therapies to the use of advanced imaging modalities like CT and real-time MRI to optimal management of complications and proper patient follow-up. Individual chapters cover essential topics such as:

– Hybrid Endovascular Aortic Arch Surgery
– Technique of Thoracic Endografting for Thoracic Aneurysm
– Endovascular Robotics for Complex Aortic Intervention
– Transcatheter Closure of Mitral and Aortic Paravalvular Leaks

Each chapter is fully illustrated in color, and a companion website includes video clips of procedures covered in the text.

Until now, operators have been forced to gather information about the latest advances in endovascular and hybrid therapies in piecemeal fashion, via journal articles or by attending seminars on individual techniques. This important new resource on the most advanced treatments for aortic and structural heart disease gathers essential knowledge in one convenient volume, making it essential reading for interventionalists and surgeons who want to add new techniques to their repertoire or achieve true mastery of procedures they have already begun to practice.
