4. Textbook of Interventional Cardiovascular Pharmacology

   Edited by Nicolas Kipshidze, Jawad Fareed, Patrick W. Serruys, Jeff Moses

   While all interventional cardiologists have access to pharmacopeial texts and databases and are aware of the growing number of pharmacological agents in the armamentarium, questions arise as to the ideal agent or combination of agents in differing patient situations. This superb text offers the...

5. Optical Coherence Tomography in Cardiovascular Research

   Edited by Regar Evelyn, A.M.G.J. van Leeuwen, Patrick W. Serruys

   Given that for centuries, the standard tool to understand diseases in tissues was the microscope and that its major limitation was that only excised tissue could be used, recent technology now permits the examination of diseased tissue in vivo. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has promising...

6. Common Clinical Dilemmas in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

   Edited by Eulogio Martinez, Pedro A. Lemos, Andrew T.I. Ong, Patrick W. Serruys

   Coronary stenting is the most commonly used method of myocardial revascularization, with approximately 2 million stents implanted in 2004 throughout the world. The development of drug eluting stents has resulted in very low rates of repeat intervention and will further increase the scope for...

7. Optical Coherence Tomography in Cardiovascular Research

   Edited by Evelyn Regar, A.M.G.J. van Leeuwen, Patrick W. Serruys

   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a light-based imaging technology that allows for very high resolution imaging in biological tissues. First applied in ophthalmology, where it soon became the gold standard for assessment of (epi-) retinal processes, it also has promising potential when applied...

8. Handbook of Drug-Eluting Stents

   By Patrick W. Serruys, Anthony H. Gershlick

   Over the past few years, the focus in interventional cardiology research has centered on reducing restenosis with the use of antiproliferative pharmacological agents. The use of these drugs, hitherto, has failed, most probably because of low active drug levels at the target site. This problem led...

9. Sirolimus-Eluting Stents

   From Research to Clinical Practice

   Edited by Patrick W. Serruys, Pedro A. Lemos

   Recently, sirolimus-eluting stents implantation has been shown to decrease restenosis markedly in selected patients. Nonetheless, the effects of SES implantation in complex, unselected patients, such as those commonly treated in daily practice ('the real world'), remains largely unknown. This book...
