Der Bereich der pädiatrischen Herz- und Gefäßchirurgie umfasst nicht nur die Herzchirurgie bei Säuglingen und Kindern, sondern auch die Herzchirurgie bei Erwachsenen zur Korrektur von angeborenen Herzfehlern. Da die Kindersterblichkeit aufgrund von Herzfehlern zurückgeht und Patienten mit angeborenen Herzfehlern zunehmend ein langes, gesundes Leben führen, ergeben sich neue Herausforderungen. Somit war der Bedarf an Einführungen in diesen lebensrettenden Bereich noch nie so groß. Pediatric Cardiac Surgery ist ein gut verständliches, umfassendes Lehrbuch, das diesen Bedarf seit über dreißig Jahren erfüllt und von Fachleuten auf allen Ebenen genutzt wird. Das Lehrwerk, das zahlreiche farbige Abbildungen enthält, bietet zunächst eine wissenschaftliche Einführung in die kardiovaskuläre Entwicklung und dann detaillierte Analysen von Defekten in verschiedenen Bereichen des Herzens mit den entsprechenden Verfahren zur Korrektur dieser Defekte. Die aktualisierte fünfte Auflage berücksichtigt die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse und bleibt damit ein unverzichtbares Werk zu diesem Thema. Die fünfte Auflage von Pediatric Cardiac Surgery enthält unter anderem: * Beiträge von über 75 nationalen und internationalen Experten auf dem Gebiet * Beeindruckende anatomische Illustrationen von Rachid Idriss * Neue Kapitel, in denen der neueste Stand der Forschung dargestellt wird, sowie neue Inhalte in Bezug auf die kardiale Bildgebung und die medizinische Ausbildung Pediactric Cardiac Surgery ist ein wichtiges Nachschlagewerk für Herzchirurgen, die sich auf Kinder und Erwachsene spezialisiert haben, Kardiologen und alle medizinischen Fachkräfte, die mit pädiatrischen oder erwachsenen Herzpatienten arbeiten.

With the introduction of cardiac surgery more than five decades ago and the use of the heart-lung machine for open heart surgical procedures granting the surgeon unlimited time in which to operate inside the heart, a complex task has been given to the Perfusionist. With a pairing of a perfusionist and a surgeon for each chapter, this book is an essential collection of techniques and protocols to aid in decision making in the operating room.

Myocardial protection is regarded as one of the most important, yet also most controversial aspects of cardiac surgery. There has been considerable improvement in myocardial protection strategies over recent years, utilising a variety of new approaches to treat cardiac diseases, and this text is intended to embrace the state of the art in this field. The book summarises the state of knowledge on all aspects of myocardial protection, including the latest in the treatment of cardiac diseases, robotics, pediatric surgery and the treatment of cardiac failure. Robotic surgery, valvular surgery, pediatric surgery and coronary surgery are all covered by renowned experts, producing a comprehensive, forward-looking view of the field of myocardial protection. This book should function to update physicians and surgeons interested in the field of cardiac surgery on the current state of knowledge on myocardial protection.

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is a relatively new field that cardiac surgeons are increasingly embracing. Its adoption is exponentially increasing, and patients and cardiologists are demanding this with more enthusiasm. This is a current subject of great interest and contemporary results are already present, with more awaiting to be published. The book describes the whole journey through the set-up of a minimally invasive mitral valve surgery program, pertinent investigations, patient selection, different approaches (including endoscopic and robotic), cardio-pulmonary bypass, re-operations and its application with tricuspid and atrial fibrillation surgery. This book is directed to all training cardiac surgeons and cardiologists, consultant cardiac surgeons and cardiologists, anaesthetists, intensive care specialists and perfusionists. This is the first book authored exclusively on this subject. The two editors are leading authorities on this subject in UK and are mentors for many surgical programs. Every chapter is authored by specialists in that particular aspect of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery discussed. The contributors are mainly from USA and Europe.
