Description
Percutaneous interventions may be very demanding, challenging and complicated. Even in apparently simple cases, this is true. This superb handbook is the first to focus solely on complications during percutaneous cardiovascular interventions. Handbook of Complications during Percutaneous Coronary Interventions provides both the neophyte and the experienced interventional cardiologist with guidance on how to prevent and to treat complications in the cath lab. The editors and the excellent team of contributors ensure that the reader is provided with practically-oriented advice, as well as tips and tricks, many of which are not included in the classic textbooks.

He was trained as a cardiologist with particular interest for interventional cardiology till 1991 at the University Hospital of this medical school. From 1991 on, he joined the cardiology division of the University Hospital CHUV in Lausanne where he became director of the catheterization laboratory in 1999. His academic affiliation is associate professor of cardiology at the medical school of the University of Lausanne. His clinical interests are situated in the broad field of interventional cardiology : valvular heart disease, percutaneous treatment of congenital heart disease in the adult, acute coronary syndromes, coronary physiology. He has a particular interest for the topic of complications during coronary intervention. In this respect, he co-founded and pursued the coronary complications course in Lausanne from 1998 on.
