Trade Review“This state-of-the-art book offers the most comprehensive collection of seminal knowledge pertaining to TAVRs. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to screen patients, how to choose different valves during TAVR, what to expect, what to do and how to do it, what to avoid, and how to manage complications, with valuable updates on safety requirements, new technology, and new techniques. This combination of ‘how to’ and ‘why’ is the core strength of this book.” (Michael Bates, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2019)
