Coronary Angiography for the Interventionalist

The purpose of this text is to focus on specific aspects of angiography relative to the needs of the interventionalist. Thus, the angiographic aspects of interventional procedures, such as specific views to enhance vessel separation, assessment of lesion morphology, and assessment of the interventional procedure outcome, will be presented. As a result, the beginning interventionalist will achieve a better understanding of the angiographic anatomy involved in angioplasty techniques and the experienced interventionalist will be provided with a useful review and a source of examples for training others. This book should be of interest to practicing cardiologists and residents in cardiology.
