Cardiac Catheterization, Angiography, and Intervention Seventh Edition reflects the rapid evolution and growing clinical use of interventional techniques.

The completely revamped interventional section includes new material on:

• treatment of pediatric and adult congenital heart disease
• coronary atherectomy
• thrombectomy
• distal embolic protection devices
• bare metal and drug-eluting stents
• percutaneous valve therapies

Other significantly revised chapters include pulmonary angiography, endomyocardial biopsy, and circulatory assist devices. This edition's enhanced companion CD-ROM features more than 100 digital cases, plus more than 20 animations showing the actions of various invasive and interventional devices.
