Description
Humana Press Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery 1st Editon 2010 Softbound by Mehmet C. Oz
A comprehensive review by renowned authorities of the many exciting developments occurring across the rapidly emerging field of 'minimally invasive' or 'minimal access' cardiac surgery. The book's distinguished panel of contributors presents the interventional cardiologists perspective, spells out the key factors for success in beating-heart coronary bypass grafting through limited incisions, and surveys the various methods of harvesting the internal thoracic artery. Other topics treated include immobilization of the surgical field, minimal access valve and congenital surgery, alternative methods of anastomosis, and port-access coronary bypass grafting. Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery summarizes all the latest findings on the powerful new techniques, as well as the results, of minimally invasive coronary surgery, including valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, and coronary revascularization. 1 Introduction: What is Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery?.- I Physiology of Injury.- 2 Pathophysiology of Cardiopulmonary Bypass.- 3 Endothelial Cell Injury.- II Less Invasive Approaches to Coronary Bypass Grafting.- 4 Minimally Invasive Coronary Bypass Grafting vs Percutaneous Coronary Interventions: The Cardiologist’s Perspective.- 5 Visualization Techniques for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery.- 6 Techniques of Minimally Invasive Internal Mammary Artery Harvest.- 7 Myocardial Stabilization During Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.- 8 Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting on the Beating Heart: The American Experience.- 9 Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting on the Beating Heart: The European Experience.- 10 Port-Access Coronary Artery Bypass.- 11 Minimally Invasive Saphenous Vein Harvest.- 12 Alternative Approaches to Vascular Anastomosis Surgery.- 13 Device-Supported Myocardial Revascularization.- 14 Economic Impact of Less Invasive Cardiac Operations.- 15 Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Quality of Life Issues.- III Noncoronary Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery.- 16 Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery.- 17 Aortic Valve Surgery via Limited Incisions.- 18 Minimally Invasive Approaches to Congenital Heart Surgery.
