There is much discussion in the field of interventional cardiovascular therapy as to what is the best approach to treating coronary bifurcation lesions. Many advocate for provisional stenting, stenting of the main vessel with subsequent stenting of the side branch as needed, while some advocate for elective double stenting of both branches. This book is the first of its kind to take a unique approach to this issue by considering the management of bifurcation lesions in the context of the individual patient’s bifurcation anatomy. A highly-illustrated, evidence-based and practical guide, this text offers a patient-centered outlook on the technical decision making in the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions.

Here is expert guidance on one of the most vexing clinical challenges faced by interventional cardiologists. Written by global thought leaders in the area and edited by two internationally-recognized pioneers in interventional cardiology, Bifurcation Stenting covers all techniques, imaging modalities, and devices in current use, including VH-IVUS and OCT. It includes practical tips/tricks from leading experts and a section of challenging cases to further illustrate the material and help readers better understand the treatment of bifurcation lesions.

This practical handbook is based on an internal working manual developed by staff and fellows at Mount Sinai Heart Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratory, renowned for its high-volume and low complication complex coronary procedures. The Practical Handbook of Interventional Cardiology captures the knowledge and methodological know-how from leaders in interventional cardiology, it intends to guide users in a stepwise, methodical and practical approach through various cardiac interventional procedures in order to achieve maximum patient safety and improved outcomes. From patient selection, preoperative work-up, setting up equipment to step-by-step illustrations of various procedural details and troubleshooting, this handbook captures all the details necessary to perform the simplest to the most complex cardiac interventions. The book is designed for cardiologists and trainees who desire an efficient way to review the steps of various cardiac interventional procedures and a quick, reliable reference for everyday use.

This pocket book is focused on the practical aspects of cardiac catheterization and interventions including indications, periprocedural medications and techniques, interpretation of results, and the prevention and treatment of periprocedural complications.
