by Scott Goldman
The only reference wholly
dedicated to this complex topic, Diagnosis and Treatment of Mitral
Valve Disease: A Multidisciplinary Approach provides authoritative,
must-have information on the disease processes affecting the mitral
valve, interpretation of diagnostic studies, and medical,
transcatheter, and surgical treatments needed for mitral valve repair.
Using a multidisciplinary approach, Drs. Scott Goldman and William Gray
oversee a “who’s who” team of contributing authors who offer a
holistic view of the modern treatment of mitral valve disease for
today’s cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and other cardiac team
members.
- Includes foundational
chapters on anatomy and pathophysiology of the mitral valve—critically
important topics when treating multiple complex and highly dynamic
structures that function as a single unit.
- Covers
diagnostic tools, medical treatments, surgical therapies, and
transcatheter therapies, and provides tips for developing a successful
mitral valve program (with baseline thresholds, common pitfalls, and a
checklist for hospitals).
- Uses
an accessible, quick-reference format that features takeaway chapter
openers, bulleted key points, end-of-chapter summaries, a common
nomenclature and glossary of terms, key references, and ample line
drawings, photographs, tables, charts, and graphs throughout.
- Incorporates
the essential role of imaging in structural transcatheter
interventions, including echocardiography and transcatheter
edge-to-edge repair (TEER), and their uses in diagnostic work-up,
procedural planning, intra-procedural guidance, and follow-up.
- Features
dozens of procedural videos, including transthoracic echocardiogram;
cardiac MRI for mitral regurgitation; transcatheter mitral valve
repair; transcatheter valvuloplasty; percutaneous mitral valve
interventions; MitraClip™ positioning; and many more.
