Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

This highly illustrated atlas contains numerous exceptional operative images and surgical videos of off-pump and minimally invasive coronary revascularization procedures. The authors clearly and comprehensively detail both basic and advanced coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) techniques. Using operative images and ultra high-resolution video sequences, this book provides state-of-the-art educational material that coherently illustrates this progressive set of surgical techniques and best practices for them. Minimally-Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery is the definitive guide to these procedures. This surgical manual follows a deliberately crafted didactic structure in which the technical steps and underlying concepts both play a central role. Each chapter builds logically from simple to more complex procedures, considering the individual characteristics and levels of difficulty of each patient, and illustrating these principles through clear, practice-oriented examples. Experienced surgeons will also find valuable tips, tricks and nuanced approaches to enhance their daily practice. Focusing on the fundamentals and advanced aspects of arterial revascularization, as well as off-pump and minimally invasive techniques, any cardiac surgeon or trainee in cardiac surgery will want to have this book in their collection.
