Percutaneous and Non-fluoroscopical (PAN) Procedure for Structural Heart Disease

by Xiangbin Pan, Ziyad M. Hijazi, Horst Sievert

Overview

This book provides an extensive discussion of echocardiography-guided percutaneous interventional techniques for clinical practitioners, including cardiologists, interventional physicians, surgeons and specialist training candidates. It allows readers to gain a thorough understanding of interpreting echocardiography-guided procedures, which not only protect patients from pain and other complications associated with conventional surgery, but also obviate the use of fluoroscopy or contrast agents and so avoid radiation damage and the risks of allergy or renal function impairment. Further, these procedures could help to save patients in areas lacking medical resources. 

 

The book first demonstrates the substitution of transesophageal for transthoracic echocardiography to avoid intubation under general anesthesia, and then presents key technical and practical aspects of echo-guided percutaneous interventions for structural heart diseases, such as ASD, VSD, PDA, PS, MS, AS and CoA. Lastly, it explores the lessons learned in echocardiography, anesthesia and postprocedural management of echo-guided percutaneous interventions.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Tarun Bhandari, MD (East Tennessee State University Quillen College of Medicine)
Description: This is a multiauthored reference book on percutaneous and non-fluoroscopic (PAN) procedures for structural heart disease.
Purpose: This book provides an up-to-date review of echocardiography-guided percutaneous interventional techniques. It gives readers a thorough understanding of interpreting these procedures and obviates the use of fluoroscopy or contrast agents to avoid radiation damage and risk of allergy or renal impairment. It first focuses on the substitution of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to avoid intubation under general anesthesia and then presents key technical and practical aspects of echocardiography-guided percutaneous interventions for structural heart disease.
Audience: The intended audience includes adult and pediatric interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists in training or in practice, and staff and nurses working in catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories. The chapter contributors are national and international thought leaders in their respective fields.
Features: The first few chapters focus on introduction to structural heart disease and current methods of intervention, anesthesia management, and use of echocardiography (echo) for percutaneous interventional therapy for atrial septal defect (ASD) closure; patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure; left atrial appendage closure; and valvuloplasty for aortic, mitral, and pulmonary stenosis. Subsequent chapters explain various approaches of closure of ASD, patent foramen ovale, perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD), and PDA, as well as the various accesses like the femoral vein, jugular vein, and femoral artery using echo-guided percutaneous interventions. The last few chapters include echo-guided interventions for pulmonary valve stenosis, aortic valve stenosis, mitral valve stenosis, left atrial appendage occlusion and coarctation of the aorta. The book concludes with post-procedural management of echo-guided percutaneous interventions. Numerous figures and illustrations of echocardiography are easy to understand and concepts are nicely detailed. Flow charts, tables for the anatomical features of structures, pathophysiology, indications, contraindications, precautions, pre-procedural preparation and post-procedural management of complications are explained well. Schematic representation of the procedures is very easy to follow. The comparative images of echocardiograms help to clarify the concepts of anatomy of the pertinent structures. The summaries of the procedures followed by cases are highlights of the book.
Assessment: This book will be a valuable resource for interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, staff and nurses working in catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories. The authors have met their objective of providing a high-quality book.
