This authoritative volume has been designed to fill a void in available reference material on congenital heart disease. It presents an in-depth look at angiocardiographic findings in infants and children with malformed hearts.
Chapter 1 discusses the history of angiocardiography in congenital heart disease. Chapters 2 to 4 are concerned with equipment, radiologic projections, and the application of a segmental nomenclature in congenital heart disease. In Chapters 5 to 52 each common and rare malformation is presented in detail, with characteristic angiocardiographic features and variations. Malformations of the systemic veins are discussed, in addition to abnormalities of the heart, great arteries, and pulmonary venous return.
Teamwork, collaboration, and extensive hours of dedicated effort are responsible for the angiocardiograms, line drawings, photographs of gross specimens, thousands of upto-date references, and supporting text that comprise this comprehensive book. The magnitude of the data, as well as the consistency and care with which the material has been produced and cataloged, represents the culmination of a long and fruitful association between the authors and the staff of The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto.
Angiocardiography of Congenital Heart Disease will be a valuable tool for pediatric cardiologists, radiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, pathologists, and technologists involved in the investigation, diagnosis, and therapy of congenital heart disease.
