Infos

Written to supplement standard textbooks and operative atlases,
this updated reference concentrates on the issue of complication
prevention and treatment. By challenging the contributors to
address specific issues related to both intraoperative techniques
and post-operative care that will reduce the incidence of
complications, Drs. Little and Merrill present a book that
reinforces the commitment to excellence in cardiothoracic surgery.

The book opens with a section on general topics with regard to
cardiothoracic surgical complications, including thoracic
incisions, postoperative arrhythmias, and myocardial
preservation. Then Drs. Little and Merrill draw on their
expertise in thoracic and cardiac surgery, respectively. They
have assembled a team of experts to address specific diseases
encountered and operations performed by cardiac and general
thoracic surgeons.

With advice developed through years of experience by some of the
most respected names in the field, Complications in
Cardiothoracic Surgery: Avoidance and Treatment, 2nd Edition
makes an ideal introduction for the new trainee and the perfect
refresher for the practicing surgeon.
