Full Description
This extensively revised second edition provides a practically applicable guide to a range of essential techniques in cardiac surgery. As well as presenting basic surgical principles, emphasis is placed on providing detailed instructions on how to perform each technique. Practically relevant guidance on how to effectively manage potential complications is also featured for standard and complex cardiac surgical procedures (e.g., aortic surgical interventions, David's procedure, tricuspid valve interventions etc.).
Essentials of Operative Cardiac Surgery systematically reviews a comprehensive range of diagnostic technologies and surgical interventions in cardiac surgery, thus providing the reader with an in-depth, detailed and step-by-step synopsis of almost all routine, standard and advanced surgical techniques. Therefore, this book provides an indispensable primer for practising as well as trainee cardiac surgeons and serves both as a basic and advanced treatise.
