Previous editions of this book have established it as the pre-eminent guide to operative surgery of the heart and great vessels. The work is a major revision edited by two well-respected American surgeons and includes a host of prestigious international contributors.
The scope of the book is fully up-to-date with modern practice, including descriptions of minimally invasive and and "off pump" procedures.
Each procedure is illustrated by a series of step-by-step full color line illustrations-consistently cited in market research as the best demonstrated surgical method - with detailed notes on operative techniques. Additional text describes the priciples and justification of choosing each procedure, preoperative assessment and preparation, postoperative care and outcomes.
The book is a gold standard on operative cardiac surgery and will be widely used by residents and surgeons approaching unfamiliar or uncommon procedures.
