High Risk Cardiac Revascularization and Clinical Trials

Trials have been designed to test the success of therapies for patients with multi-vessel obstructive coronary artery disease, and to compare survival rates with those receiving surgical treatment. The compilation of information on outcomes of the high-risk patient is presented in this text.

Supported by over 100 illustrations, this text examines and compares medical and surgical management of cardiovascular disease for the high-risk cardiac patient. Incorporating comprehensive coverage of relevant trials (and the lessons learnt from them), and examining evolving medical technology (including drug therapy) and the long-term outcome of various forms of management, it is a valuable source of information for the interventional or non-invasive cardiologist, cardiac surgeon and trainee alike.
