Cardiochirurgia

The only truly comprehensive reference devoted to every aspect of cardiac transplantation not only covers the surgical procedures for donor and recipient but also explores the pre- and post-operative patient management, operative techniques, and non-surgical cardiac management options. Its coverage encompasses everything from historical and scientific foundations of transplantation through the cardiac conditions which lead to transplantation to the procedure and its possible results.

Il volume rappresenta mezzo secolo di vita vissuta dall'autore nel campo della Cardiologia e della Cardiochirurgia. La documentazione scientifica e storica e iconografica, illustra in modo puntiglioso e dettagliato il contributo dato dall'autore alla nascita e al progresso di una branca prestigiosa, affascinante e di alto significato sociale come la cardiochirurgia.

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. The technology involved in performing minimally invasive surgery concerns not only instrumentation but also anesthetic management, for example, the use of transesophageal echocardiography and radiological interventions in the operating suite for the stenting of the aorta. 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.
