Myocardial Revascularization: Novel Percutaneous Approaches |
| Editor: George S. Abela (Michigan State Univ. College of Medicine, East Lansing, Michigan) |
| The percutaneous method of transluminal myocardial revascularization has roused enthusiasm in the field of cardiology because it is minimally invasive and relatively inexpensive. In his progressive new book, George Abela, a widely recognized pioneer in cardiology and lasers, has brought together the expertise of international leaders on the subject in this premier reference, Myocardial Revascularization: Novel Percutaneous Approaches. This resource provides interventional cardiologists, technical personnel and nurses in cardiac catheterization labs with the most current scholarly and clinical information available, including: * A historical overview of myocardial revascularization (including the Vineberg procedure and the more recent TMR/PMR procedures) * Biological responses and mechanisms of action in myocardial revascularization using mechanical, laser, ultrasound, and cryoenergy * Current technology for the percutaneous method of the procedure * Descriptions of other novel approaches including percutaneous in situ coronary venous arterialization * Discussion of results from preliminary and advanced TMR/PMR in canine and human procedures * Examination of various catheter navigation systems and potential adjunct gene therapies * Myocyte transplantation to replenish the depleted myocardium * Insights into the economics of these novel percutaneous techniques
