Main description:

This state-of-the-art handbook is dedicated to cardiac valve anatomy, models for testing and research methods, clinical trials; and clinical needs and applications. In this new edition, chapters are updated with the latest research in addition to new chapters on complex repair of CHD requiring conduits, new trends for valve replacement like the Ozaki procedure, as well as complex procedures in TAV, SAV, HARPOON, and BASILICA, with case studies for each type of procedure. This volume serves as a helpful reference for patients, educators, students, device designers and developers, clinical study specialists, clinicians, and other associated healthcare providers.
