Novel Percutaneous Approaches
edited by
George S. Abela
Myocardial Revascularization provides interventional cardiologists, technical personnel and nurses in cardiac catheterization labs with the most current scholarly and clinical information available, including:
- A historical overview of myocardial revascularization (including the Vineberg procedure and the more recent TMR/PMR procedures)
- Biological responses and mechanisms of action in myocardial revascularization using mechanical, laser, ultrasound, and cryoenergy
- Current technology for the percutaneous method of the procedure
- Descriptions of other novel approaches including percutaneous in situ coronary venous arterialization
- Discussion of results from preliminary and advanced TMR/PMR in canine and human procedures
- Examination of various catheter navigation systems and potential adjunct gene therapies
- Myocyte transplantation to replenish the depleted myocardium
- Insights into the economics of these novel percutaneous techniques
