Summary

To understand and explain the physical, chemical, or biological mechanisms of a technique is science. To perform a successful interventional procedure in a compassionate manner, without wasting equipment, resources, or the patient''s, physician''s, and staff''s time, is an art. Culled from the personal experience of over fifty international contributors, the tips are rated by the editors on three levels: basic; advanced; and rare, exotic or investigational. In addition, case reports and technique descriptions are highlighted for the reader with easy-to-locate, high-profile visual cues.Interventional cardiologists at all levels will enjoy and benefit from this succinct, informative handbook.
