Description: The Second Edition provides an update on the rationale, techniques, and effectiveness of direct percutaneous mechanical revascularization for acute myocardial infarction. Through the use of "real world" methods, clinical perspectives, and mechanical support, this comprehensive resource guides interventional cardiologists and trainees through the angioplasty process safely and effectively. New to the Second Edition is an interactive DVD component that includes 47 video clips of the case studies featured in the text. Each case study is also available in PowerPoint format, enabling clinicians to easily create dynamic presentations.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
