Using this comprehensive approach,
Trans-Radial Interventions will become routine procedures.
While the interventional cardiology community has been busy with research to extend the scope of intervention to increasingly complex lesions and to vanquish restenosis, a quiet revolution has been underway. The transradial approach to percutaneous intervention (PCI), initially developed by a small group of dedicated pioneers, is now increasingly popular with interventionalists who aim to minimise bleeding complications while increasing patient comfort.
This volume, edited by Martial Hamon from the University Hospital, Caen, France and Eugène Mc Fadden from the university Hospital, Cork, Ireland, is aimed at experienced Interventional Cardiologists, attracted by the proven advantages of transradial access, at novices, for whom this approach will be an integral part of their future practice, and at Interventional Radiologists who have also adapted the technique for their specific needs.
Contributors from around the globe, including many of the pioneers of transradial access, have come together to provide a step-by step introduction to transradial access for the novice, and to address more complex aspects, faced by experienced operators, such as the approach to acute coronary syndromes and to complex multivessel PCI. In addition, the extension of the transradial approach to the realm of Interventional Radiology- carotid and renal intervention -is covered in a separate section. Each chapter is accompanied by colour illustrations and angiographic illustrations that both enhance the educational value and make the text extremely “user-friendly”.
