Overview of Cardiac Surgery for the Cardiologist
Written in easily accessible terms for the non-surgeon, this text provides the essential information cardiologists need when counselling their patients about heart surgery. Surgical procedures are described without an excess of technical jargon to make cardiologists more aware of the benefits and limitations of cardiac surgery, and to enable the physician to explain cardiac operations more clearly to the patient. Eminent cardiac surgeons contribute chapters on: cardiac anaesthesia; cardiopulmonary bypass; myocardial protection; coronary bypass surgery; aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve replacement and repair; adult congenital heart disease; cardiac transplantation; mechanical assist devices; active endocarditis; surgical considerations of prosthetic valve selection; and reoperations.
