What are you aiming at when performing a coronary intervention? Is your target a zero percent residual stenosis and normal coronary flow? Or are you aiming at a perfect procedure? This unique book by Ferdinand Kiemeneij, pioneer of transradial coronary interventions, combines his insights on how to optimize a transradial coronary angioplasty procedure with the most precious values of Taoist and Zen philosophies. The book is so richly illustrated with his black & white photos that it can be considered as a photo book as well. After a very short introduction into the history and principles of Taoism and Zen, the author brings some core values into the catheterization laboratory. In the end you will understand that, to speak with Herrigel: “The target is not the rose, but that the arrow leaves the arch as a leaf falls from the tree. Effortless and relaxed, without aiming it will succeed. If you shoot like this, you cannot miss because you and the target are one.” Ferdinand Kiemeneij, MD, PhD, is interventional cardiologist and sinologist and lives in Bussum, the Netherlands.
