Descrizione Hybrid cardiac interventions
This book deals with the treatment of atrial fibrillation and catheter-based aortic valve replacement. It presents what has been achieved till now but also reflects that many developments are still in progress and may continue developing in different directions. Future editions of this book will discuss them. The intention of assembling this book was not only to inspire and guide physicians who are interested in the potential of the hybrid approach but also to provide a platform to the pioneers to share their initial, practical, and personal experiences or ideas in a way that is not always possible in peer-reviewed journals.ContentsRhythm control in atrial fibrillation: whom to select for ablation?Epicardial and endocardial ablation for atrial fibrillationBilateral totally-thoracoscopic approach to surgical treatment of atrial fibrillationSurgical treatment of atrial fibrillationUnilateral approach for thoracoscopic af ablation: technical considerationsTrans-apical aortic valve implantation: procedural stepsTrans-catheter valve implantation for patients with aortic stenosis: statement by the European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), in collaboration with the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI)Clinical decision-making in elderly patients: the aging population and high risk patients with aortic stenosisTrans-catheter aortic valve implantation: initial results in maastrichtPercutaneous aortic valve replacement: description of the technology, current findings and future directionsTechnical developments in imaging and ablation of AF
