Minimally Invasive Cardiac and Vascular Surgery Techniques
Fiona Clements , Jack Shanewise
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 148
ardiac surgeons are rethinking all their traditional techniques--avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass when feasible, attempting to reduce incision size, and thereby reduce the trauma inflicted on the patient.

This latest volume in the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists Monograph series addresses the anesthesiologist's changing role in dealing with patients undergoing these newer, unconventional surgical operations.
