Left Main Coronary Revascularization

This book comprehensively reviews LM revascularization, one of the  most technically challenging and prognostically relevant topics for  cardiologists. LM carries blood to 70-80% of the normal heart, and  diseases affecting this coronary segment are a common cardiac condition.  Beginning in the sixties, management was exclusively within the  domain of cardiac surgeons, and recent dramatic changes in percutaneous  techniques have led to huge improvements but have also  brought significant surgical challenges. In the book, top cardiac surgeons  describe current and future operative techniques, while leading interventional cardiologists discuss new bifurcation techniques. This book  also investigates the recently released European Society of Cardiology  Guidelines in detail.

Featuring the latest scientific studies with long-term follow up, and  detailed descriptions of the techniques used, this book provides comprehensive  guidance for any clinician, and is a valuable resource for  cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and  internists.
