| Summary: | With the increase in the number of cardiac operations performed each year, the incidence of reoperations has also increased; and the need for guidance from experts in the field has grown. This monograph provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on reoperations in paediatric and adult cardiac surgery. It is an excellent manual for the young surgeon and an invaluable reference for the established surgeon. The main part of the book is devoted to surgical technique, with a complete description of technical details and more than 300 illustrations showing the heart from the surgeon's perspective. The section on congenital heart disease covers all the major diagnostic groups, and the section on acquired heart disease contains coronary and valve surgery, arrhythmias and thoracic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms. The general section deals with investigations, anaesthesia, surgical approaches, infection, pacemakers and retransplantation. The chapters are written by twenty-nine authorities from seven countries; together they present a unique compilation of international expertise for the cardiovascular surgeon. |
