The definitive textbook in both adult and pediatric cardiac surgery is back...updated and revised in a new, 3rd Edition! It thoroughly covers the full range of new and classic surgical procedures and presents the up-to-date clinical evidence practitioners need to make effective management decisions.

Features

Covers ischemic, valvular, and congenital heart disease; cardiac tumors; constrictive pericarditis; thoracic aortic surgery; cardiac transplantation; and much more.

Explores each condition's natural history, diagnostic criteria, indications for surgery, operative techniques, and follow-up care.

What's New

Features brand-new chapters covering diseases of the pulmonary arteries and diseases of the systemic veins, including Infective Endocarditis (Ch. 15).
Incorporates significant updates on coronary artery disease, aortic valve disease, cardiac rhythm disturbances, heart failure and transplantation, disease of the thoracic aorta, tetralogy of Fallot, anesthesia, and postoperative care.
Presents thousands of up-to-date references.
Features hundreds of new procedural illustrations.
