This edition of the foremost reference – both local and global – for interventional practice in the Asia-Pacific region looks at Takayasu’s arteritis and the role of endovascular treatment; the latest from the Asia Pacific Chronic Total Occlusion club and their new algorithm focussing on three specific problems in the retrograde approach; a review of why the CYPHER stent failed by reviewing long-term clinical outcomes with BRS vs. DES; and hospital outcomes in STEMI patients after the implementation of a regional STEMI network in the metropolitan area of a developing country (Jakarta Cardiovascular Care Unit Network System).
