Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A How-To Guide for Cardiologists and Cardiac Surgeons
暫譯: 經導管主動脈瓣置換術：心臟科醫生與心臟外科醫生的實用指南

這本簡明手冊詳細說明了如何執行經導管主動脈瓣置換術（TAVR），並為心臟外科醫生和心臟科醫生提供了開始實踐 TAVR 所需的基礎知識。手冊包括建立 TAVR 領域的里程碑數據背景、TAVR 患者的術前和術後管理指導，以及最新和最常用設備的技術描述及其使用方法。由該領域的領導者撰寫，提供了客觀的學術評估，並描述了通過反覆試驗學習的同事們的經驗。《經導管主動脈瓣置換手冊》是心臟科、心臟外科、胸外科和血管外科醫生及相關專業人員、住院醫師、研究員和研究生的重要資源。

A. Claire Watkins, MD is a clinical assistant professor of cardiothoracic surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. She received her medical degree from the University of Tennessee and a Masters of Clinical Research from the University of Maryland. She completed an integrated cardiothoracic surgical residency at the University of Maryland, focusing her final year on transcatheter aortic valve replacement. She received advanced training in endovascular aortic surgery at Auckland City Hospital in New Zealand and at Centre Chirurgical Marie-Lannelongue in Paris, France. Her clinical focus is endovascular aortic and heart valve surgery and research interests include clinical trials and device development for cardiac surgery.

Anuj Gupta, MD, is an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. An interventional cardiologist, he serves as director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. His primary focus is on the treatment of severe aortic stenosis in patients who are eligible for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). In his role evaluating TAVR and related therapies, he is the site principal investigator for the PARTNER 2 trial, Galileo Trial, and the Medtronic low-risk, randomized trial for TAVR. In addition, he is involved in renal denervation studies, including the SYMPLICITY-HTN3 trial and Reduce HTN: Reinforce trial. He is the Governor of the Maryland Chapter of the American College of Cardiology, the professional society for cardiologists and related cardioavascular specialists. He is a principal in the Maryland Academic Consortium for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Appropriateness and Quality (MACPAQ).

Dr. Bartley P. Griffith is a Professor of Surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He received his medical degree from Jefferson Medical College and completed a surgery internship and general and cardiothoracic surgery residency at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Health Center Hospitals. He has published over 500 articles and book chapters, lectured at professional meetings nationally and internationally, and is the recipient of numerous honors and awards. Dr. Griffith's clinical work focuses on open and transcatheter aortic valve replacement, aneurysmal disease of the thoracic aorta and transplantation. His research interests are concentrated on heart and lung transplantation, cell transplantation and advancing the use of artificial organs. He is an NHLBI investigator and is currently developing an artificial lung.

A. Claire Watkins醫生是史丹佛大學醫學院心胸外科的臨床助理教授。她在田納西大學獲得醫學學位，並在馬里蘭大學獲得臨床研究碩士學位。她在馬里蘭大學完成了綜合心胸外科住院醫師訓練，並在最後一年專注於經導管主動脈瓣置換術。她在紐西蘭奧克蘭市醫院和法國巴黎的Marie-Lannelongue外科中心接受了血管內主動脈手術的進階訓練。她的臨床重點是血管內主動脈和心臟瓣膜手術，研究興趣包括心臟手術的臨床試驗和裝置開發。

Anuj Gupta醫生是馬里蘭大學醫學院的助理教授。他是一名介入心臟病學家，擔任心臟導管檢查實驗室的主任。他的主要焦點是治療符合經導管主動脈瓣置換術（TAVR）資格的重度主動脈狹窄患者。在評估TAVR及相關療法的角色中，他是PARTNER 2試驗、Galileo試驗和美敦力低風險隨機試驗的主要研究者。此外，他還參與腎去神經研究，包括SYMPLICITY-HTN3試驗和Reduce HTN: Reinforce試驗。他是美國心臟病學會馬里蘭分會的理事，該學會是心臟病學家及相關心血管專家的專業組織。他是馬里蘭學術聯盟的主要成員，該聯盟專注於經皮冠狀動脈介入的適當性和質量（MACPAQ）。

Bartley P. Griffith醫生是馬里蘭大學醫學院的外科教授。他在傑佛遜醫學院獲得醫學學位，並在匹茲堡大學醫學中心醫院完成外科實習以及一般和心胸外科住院醫師訓練。他已發表超過500篇文章和書籍章節，並在國內外的專業會議上講演，獲得了眾多榮譽和獎項。Griffith醫生的臨床工作專注於開放式和經導管主動脈瓣置換術、胸主動脈的動脈瘤疾病及移植。他的研究興趣集中在心臟和肺臟移植、細胞移植以及推進人工器官的使用上。他是NHLBI的研究者，目前正在開發人工肺。
