We are delayed by a considerable time to publish this book, mostly by the compelling and overwhelming pandemic which almost stopped the world at a time when this edition was due. During this long period, revolutions took place in percutaneous treatment of structural heart disease which has already become almost a separate speciality. In this edition, a glimpse of such interventions are carefully added so that a beginner would not feel awkward to start a program.
This book is thoroughly updated, each chapter is relooked, redesigned and is made absolutely up to date for interventional cardiologists of current generation.
