This book provides an invaluable practically applicable and comprehensive manual to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Critical concepts and techniques are discussed in an easy-to-follow and understand step-by-step guide, featuring a wealth of intraoperative photos and illustrations with concise and instructive descriptions. Topics covered include classical sternotomy, variants of arterial revascularization, off-pump and minimally invasive techniques (MICS-CABG).
Operative Techniques in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery provides invaluable assistance to residents, fellows and trainee surgeons by explaining theoretical and technical aspects of the latest advances in procedural techniques and therapy personalization to optimize CABG surgical outcome. Considering that any heart team depends entirely on the participants’ knowledge and their willingness to cooperate, this work allows cardiologists and the other participants of a heart team to better understand the strengths and limitations of state-of-the-art surgical coronary revascularization. The concepts synthesized within the checklists and decision algorithms provided also enable the reader to develop their knowledge of which technique is the most appropriate for a particular patient.
Focusses on technical aspects of coronary artery bypass surgery with step-by-step photo-illustrations of each relevant technique focusing on minimal invasive and standard approaches for the daily clinical routine
Contains expert commentaries, and pearls and pitfalls on highly-relevant topics
Presents up-to-date strategies for outcome optimisation and trauma minimisation as well as personalisation of surgical therapy
Provides insights on how to implement innovative techniques into the clinical routine from a highly-experienced team
