Zusatztext "an excellent compilation of a fast and newly developing field. There is liberal use of color illustrations. […] I think cardiologists, both pediatric and adult, and cardiac surgeons will find something of interest in this book. As this field develops and more clinical information becomes available, it is likely that future editions will include more outcomes data and will allow this first-rate book to develop into a classic." Howard C. Herrmann, Circulation, 2006, 114: 12 Informationen zum Autor Ziyad M. Hijazi, Ted Feldman Klappentext Transcatheter Valve Repair discusses all aspects related to percutaneous and established valve repair methods. The book is divided into few major sections covering all four valves and other topics. Each section contains several chapters discussing everything related to that valve. Beginning with the pulmonary valve! then moving to the aortic! the mitral! and finally the tricuspid valve. Zusammenfassung Transcatheter Valve Repair Inhaltsverzeichnis The Pulmonary Valve.
