Synopsis

Structural heart disease (SHD) is a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Therapeutic interventions for these disorders have evolved from a small number of procedures to an impressive array of new approaches to diseases that have been traditionally managed by surgery and medical therapy.
Structural Heart Disease Interventions collects and refines the latest advances in the discipline―from established to emerging tools and techniques―providing clinicians and all members of the care team with a practical, comprehensive, clinically relevant summary of the discipline. The manual’s emphasis on minimally invasive procedures allows for shorter healing times and improved outcomes.

1) Core Knowledge in SHD Intervention
2) Specialized Skills for the Interventionalist/Surgeon
3) Closure of Congenital and Acquired Defects in Adults
