Reviews
From the reviews: It very nicely summarizes the recent advances in the percutaneous treatment of mitral and aortic valvular disorders. This book is intended for trainees and physicians with a special interest in valvular diseases, especially those interested in the interventional aspects of these disorders. ! It is a small book, easy to carry, with high yield tables and references, printed on a good quality paper. ! This is a great source of a wealth of information for interventional cardiologists.

Author Information
Corrado Tamburino is Professor of Cardiology and Director of both the Cardiology Institute and Cardiovascular Dept. and the Post-graduate School of Cardiology at the University of Catania. He is also Chief of the Cardiovascular Dept. at Ferrarotto Hospital, Catania. At present he is also President of the Italian Society of Invasive Cardiology (GISE). He introduced the technique of endomyocardial biopsy and mitral valvuloplasty to Sicily and has performed more than 12,000 interventional procedures of coronary angioplasty and coronary stent implantation. Prof. Tamburino was the first interventional cardiologist in Italy to implant a percutaneous aortic valve on patients who cannot undergo surgical interventions and the first who treated percuteneously mitral regurgitation. An interesting recent article published in CIRCULATION presents Prof. Tamburrino's career and experiences in detail (Circulation 2008; 118; f63-f66).
