Suggestions for interventional textbook?

[Karaoke]

An odd request: my father, who is a general practitioner, has got it in his head that he wants a textbook in interventional cardiology for his bookshelf. He asked me to track down the best book, the one cardiologists would buy, and get it for him. Who knows whether he'll ever read it, but for the sake of this thread let's say that he will.

Is there a consensus "definitive" textbook for interventional cardiology? In the absence of a definitive text, what are the major texts that I should be choosing from? My father mentioned to me that he would like a textbook that discusses all of the "latest and greatest" in procedures -- take that for what it's worth.

Thanks.

"Grossman's Cardiac Catheterization, Angiography, and Intervention"

I'm a peds cards fellow, but I recently read a little bit out of this (for basic coronary stuff) and I though the writing style (of at least that chapter) was easy to read. I think it's a pretty well regarded text in the adult world.

I would second the Grossman's recommendation- pretty much the cath bible in many circles and required reading in my general cardiology fellowship.

Good luck.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll go with that Grossman's
unless anyone else has a better idea. Please share if you do.
