Training and experience are the foundation on which an accomplished interventionalist stands. No book can supplant this foundation, but in Cardiac Catheterization and Percutaneous Intervention the authors, most of whom trained at the Thoraxcentre, Rotterdam, provide a practical text that creates confidence in performing percutaneous coronary and peripheral intervention. They address the basics (things you wouldn't dare to ask), the pitfalls (problems to avoid before you start), the proven approaches (facts you are expected to know), and the new innovations (techniques you will want to be first to perfect).
