Clearly written, highly illustrated, and designed for quick reference, Kern's Cardiac Catheterization Handbook, 8th Edition, is the resource of choice for every member of the cardiac cath team. Widely regarded as the “bible” of cardiac catheterization, this portable, accessible primer provides a straightforward, practical explanation of the lab and its complex procedures for cardiac fellows, residents, nurses, and all cath lab personnel. Initial chapters assist the novice with descriptions of how procedures flow, what steps to learn first, and other essential information. Later chapters are devoted to special techniques, high-risk procedures, research techniques, percutaneous coronary interventions, and optimization of outcomes—all with a focus on treatment protocols for every procedure.
-
- Provides clear instructions on what to expect, what to avoid, and how to manage complications for every procedure you’ll encounter—including coverage of new techniques and technologies that affect virtually all aspects of familiar procedures
- Covers all the newest catheterization techniques for vascular closure and expansion of large-bore access procedures, including TAVR, ECMO, mitraclip, and TMVR
- Discusses key topics such as intracardiac echocardiography and intraprocedural imaging, management of complications with algorithms that expedite the approach to these patients, adjunctive hemodynamic support, and maintaining quality in the laboratory
- Emphasizes indications and contraindications for procedures in the context of a multidisciplinary heart team approach
- Includes numerous clear illustrations and a newly expanded video library to enhance your understanding of the material
