Review
From the reviews:
“This book covers the current surgical treatments for advanced heart failure, providing a comprehensive overview of this growing segment of cardiac surgery. … This book is intended primarily for practitioners of cardiac surgery and the treatment of patients with advanced heart failure. It will be especially helpful to surgeons and cardiologists caring for these complex patients. … This is an excellent book. It is an important addition to the field, gathering opinions of leading authorities and the evidence to support these advanced therapies.” (Michael Bates, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2013)
From the Back Cover
The treatment of end-stage heart failure with advanced surgical therapies has evolved significantly over the last several years and is a dynamic subspecialty within cardiac surgery. Surgical Treatment of Advanced Heart Failure describes the surgical management of advanced heart failure, including coronary artery revascularization, mitral valve repair, aortic valve replacement, ventricular remodeling, cardiac resynchronization, mechanical circulatory support with short-term devices for acute stabilization, long-term mechanical support as a bridge to transplant and for destination therapy, left ventricular assist devices, complete cardiac replacement with the total artificial heart, and cardiac transplantation. With contributions from a distinguished group of heart failure cardiologists and transplant surgeons, it is an authoritative resource for cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and surgeons.
