Structural Heart Disease

This book addresses the growing, dynamic, multidisciplinary field of structural heart disease, commonly assumed to include both congenital and acquired valvular disease, abnormal chamber communications, and non-coronary procedures like atrial appendage isolation. Structural Heart Disease: A Guide to Percutaneous Interventional Therapies offers an introduction to various structural heart defects and describes the imaging techniques and interventional steps needed to implement repairs. Both surgical and interventional cardiologists bring unique skills to interventions in this area and this book is useful for both audiences, in addition to general cardiologists and cardiac anesthesiologists.
