Co-sponsored by Boston Scientific Corporation and Swedish Medical Center Foundation, the SIS 2006 Yearbook is a compendium of hot topics and breakthrough developments that defined the previous year in Cardiovascular Medicine. Led by Editor-in-Chief, Jennifer Tremmel, MD, the yearbook contributors summarize the latest developments in cardiovascular medicine, including the state-of-the-art in coronary and carotid stenting, indications for PFO closure, progress in percutaneous valves and endovascular aneurysm repair, and updates on non-invasive imaging. The Yearbook also provides a concise review of innovations in devices, diagnostics, and biotechnology.

The SIS 2006 Yearbook is a cutting edge reference, available in both print and electronic versions, that captures the highlights of the SIS 2006 Conference.
