A unique combination of color atlas and synoptic text on interventional cardiology procedures Within the field of cardiovascular medicine, interventional cardiology has evolved rapidly in the last decade. In particular, there are advanced therapeutic valvular interventions that compare historical outcomes with surgical approaches. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement may soon become the standard of care, and transcatheter mitral valve interventions continue to develop rapidly. In addition, improvements in drug-eluting stent technology continue to improve long-term outcomes. Keeping in mind these rapid advances in interventional cardiology, we have put together this color atlas and synopsis of interventional cardiology to enable medical students, postgraduate physician trainees, practicing clinicians, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, internal medicine physicians, and general practitioners so that they can rapidly assimilate information on a wide variety of interventional cardiology related topics.
