Can the history and techniques of cardiac catheterization really be encompassed in a pocket-sized handbook? Clearly the answer is yes.

This handbook succinctly summarizes the historical advances in diagnostic and therapeutic coronary angiography from its origins in 1929 when Werner Forsmann performed right heart catheterization on himself, through the advent of percutaneous intervention with the first balloon angioplasty by Andreas Gruentzig in 1977, up to the current drug-eluting stent era.

The main focus however is the practical applications and techniques of current practice in the catheterization laboratory, including radiation protection, vascular access, view selection for diagnostic angiography, and a detailed summary of current interventional techniques and devices.

The chapter on complications, including a summary of when such issues are likely to occur and details of how to manage each predicament, deserves particular attention.

This manual will prove to be a valuable guide to anyone wishing to learn the indications and practical techniques of cardiac catheterization, from cardiology trainees and other catheter laboratory personnel as well as serving as a useful quick reference guide for more experienced cardiologists.
