• Features a new chapter on intracardiac echocardiography and intraprocedural imaging.
• Discusses key topics such as intra-procedural imaging, management of complications with algorithms that expedite the approach to these patients, adjunctive hemodynamic support, and maintaining quality in the laboratory.
• Incorporates an increased emphasis on indications and contraindications for procedures in the context of a multidisciplinary heart team approach.
• Includes numerous clear illustrations to enhance your understanding of the material, as well as videos of Dr. Kern demonstrating various procedures in the cath lab.
