Interventional Cardiology: Principles and Practice 2nd Edition

The specialty of interventional cardiology has been expanding in every direction at an unprecedented pace over the past five years.  Patients are being treated with interventional, percutaneous, and minimally invasive methods by specialists from other areas of medicine and surgery, which adds to the overall growth and technological advancement of cardiovascular interventions and of those providing patient care.
