Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Description:

Written and edited by an outstanding team of experts in the field, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation offers a multidisciplinary approach to this rapidly expanding procedure. Recent studies have shown transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to be as effective as surgical aortic valve repair (SAVR), with demonstrably better outcomes for low, intermediate, and high-risk patients. Under the editorial leadership of Drs. Catherine M. Otto, Bernard D. Prendergast, and Simon Redwood, this practical reference incorporates recent research on patient selection, discusses current guidelines, and covers the new devices developed to address this fast-growing area.
