6 Preface to the Second Edition At the time of publication ofthis handbook, percutaneous treatment of left side cardiac valves represented just an exciting and promising opportunity. The lack of outcome data at medium and long term, however, required some caution, since there were still too many unknowns related to a minimally invasive treatment of valvular heart disease, including durability of acute results, long-term impact of procedural complications, patient selection and so on. After two years since our first publication, the literature has produced substantial data supporting particularly transcatheter aortic valve implantation, in parallel with a considerable increase of the procedures around the world, as well as operators' experience and procedural success. These data allow now to consider these procedures not only a promise for the future, but a solid reality of our present. Not surprisingly, the enthusiasm for these achievements has prompted the industry to continuously improve their own devices. The scenario has therefore changed dramatically in recent years, necessitating a substantial update of the first edition of this volume. Once again, the goal ofthis practical handbook is to give interventional cardiologists an advanced understanding and the current state of the art of the percutaneous treatment of left side cardiac valves.

7 Preface to the First Edition Transcatheter therapy of cardiac valve diseases is a rediscovery by interventional cardiologists. Treating cardiac valve diseases with alternative techniques to cardiac surgery using prosthetic devices has rekindled interest in the field of hemodynamics, which has been neglected in recent years. Within this framework, two sectors can be distinguished: valvuloplasty techniques using a balloon alone to treat mitral, aortic, and pulmonary stenoses, and those using prosthetic heart valves or repair devices. Valvuloplasty techniques should be considered as palliative, as the duration of their effectiveness varies from just a few weeks, as in the case of aortic valvuloplasty for degenerative stenoses, to years, as in the case of mitral and pulmonary valvuloplasty. By contrast, transcatheter implantation of biological prosthetic valves, or repair techniques using dedicated devices aim to provide a definitive therapeutic solution or at least a solution offering results that are equal to or just as good as those of cardiac surgery. The advent of devices for the percutaneous treatment of left chamber valve diseases is one of the greatest breakthroughs in interventional cardiology. The goal of this handbook is to give interventional cardiologists the means to understand the context of the percutaneous treatment of valve diseases and the state of the art of the techniques and procedures currently available.
