Corrado Tamburino is Full Professor of Cardiology since 2002 at the University of Catania, Italy. He is the Head of the Cardio-Thoracic-Vascular Department of the "Azienda Policlinico-Vittorio Emanuele" in Catania, Italy, and the Director of the Cardiology Unit. He has introduced in Italy the treatment of severe aortic and mitral valve disease by transcatheter interventions. The course director of the PCR London Valve, Prof Tamburino is today widely recognized as one the most expert in the field of transcatheter aortic valve interventions. Marco Barbanti is Research Associate at the University of Catania. He received his MD from the University of Catania in 2008 and completed his clinical and research fellowship in coronary and structural valve heart disease interventions at the St. Paul's Hospital, University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Dr Barbanti is the youngest recipient of the prestigious "Thomas J. Linnemeier Spirit of Interventional Cardiology Young Investigator Award" from the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, which has been delivered to him in 2013 for his distinguished clinical and academic achievements. Dr Barbanti has authored about 150 publications in the field of transcatheter aortic and mitral valve interventions in all first tier cardiology journals.

"This is an advanced level book, most suitable for those training in interventional cardiology, specifically structural heart disease. ... This book has excellent diagrams, drawings, and multimodality imaging. This would be an essential book in any structural cardiologist's library." (Arjun Makam, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2018)
