Interventional cardiology means the cardiological practice of the future. This book provides the physician with practical guidelines to interventions. All procedures involving modern technology and drugs are described with emphasis on the "how to" aspects. The indications, techniques, results and merits of each procedure are given. These include: coronary angioplasty and angioscopy, valvuloplasty, lasers and cardiac transplantation as well as basic procedures such as cardiac catheterization, electrophysiologic studies and automatic implantable defibrillators. Readers of the book will find the way to new dimensions in cardiologic practice.

Operative techniques and strategies for the accepted modality of cardiac transplantation are depicted here from the viewpoint of the surgeon. The atlas features a unique format with emphasis on large, well-developed, full color graphics and operative photographs, all used to demonstrate the integral steps in operative techniques. Where necessary, biochemistry, histology, surgical anatomy, physiology, pathology, and operative technique are detailed. The atlas functions as a teaching aid, a source of surgical techniques and as a rapid reference for surgeons and cardiologists learning various techniques.
