Description du livre
This book comprehensively reviews LM revascularization, one of the
most technically challenging and prognostically relevant topics for
cardiologists. LM carries blood to 70-80% of the normal heart, and
diseases affecting this coronary segment are a common cardiac condition.
Beginning in the sixties, management was exclusively within the
domain of cardiac surgeons, and recent dramatic changes in percutaneous
techniques have led to huge improvements but have also
brought significant surgical challenges. In the book, top cardiac surgeons
describe current and future operative techniques, while leading
interventional cardiologists discuss new bifurcation techniques. This book
also investigates the recently released European Society of Cardiology
Guidelines in detail.
Featuring the latest scientific studies with long-term follow up, and
detailed descriptions of the techniques used, thisbook provides comprehensive
guidance for any clinician, and is a valuable resource for
cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and
internists.
This is an open access book.
