This book comprehensively reviews LM revascularization, one of the



most technically challenging and prognostically relevant topics for



cardiologists. LM carries blood to 70-80% of the normal heart, and



diseases affecting this coronary segment are a common cardiac condition.



Beginning in the sixties, management was exclusively within the



domain of cardiac surgeons, and recent dramatic changes in percutaneous



techniques have led to huge improvements but have also



brought significant surgical challenges. In the book, top cardiac surgeons



describe current and future operative techniques, while leading



interventional cardiologists discuss new bifurcation techniques. This book



also investigates the recently released European Society of Cardiology



Guidelines in detail.



Featuring the latest scientific studies with long-term follow up, and



detailed descriptions of the techniques used, thisbook provides comprehensive



guidance for any clinician, and is a valuable resource for



cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and



internists.
