This new and comprehensively revised third edition of Practical Interventional Cardiology, led by an eminent UK Cardiologist and supported by contributing authors from around the world, discusses the different interventional procedures by context and addresses current guidelines and ongoing trials, including European experience with non-FDA approved devices. It represents an extended practical reference for the Interventional Cardiologist, Fellows in training, catheter laboratory Nursing and Technical staff as well as the non-invasive Cardiologist and General Physician. Rather than providing detailed and exhaustive reviews - a criticism of many Interventional Cardiology texts - the purpose of this book is to present practical information regarding Interventional procedures and important topics in Cardiology. An emphasis on clarity, clinical relevance and up-to-date information has been favoured as well as discussion of points of controversy so frequently overlooked."

This book presents clear, comprehensive, and practical information on interventional cardiac procedures. Led by a UK cardiologist who has worked extensively in the USA, authors are well-known cardiologists from around the world. Although some of the authors have updated their chapters from the early 2000s, many are new to the book and have written new or radically updated chapters, reflecting the enormous changes that have occurred in interventional cardiology since this book first published.
