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.


This is an open access book.

lt;p>Bernardo Cortese is an interventional cardiologist, and Director of Cardiology at San Carlo Clinic in Milano. He is an expert in the areas of drug-coated balloons, bioresorbable scaffolds, antithrombotics, optical coherence tomography, and left main coronary revascularization.  Dr Cortese has performed more than 3000 coronary and peripheral percutaneous interventions as first operator. He is also consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Gruppo San Donato for peripheral and structural heart interventions.
He is President of the Scientific Committee of Fondazione Ricerca e Innovazione Cardiovascolare, a research institution based in Milano.
