"This is a worthy objective in this emerging field, and the editors have succeeded in putting together an excellent monograph. "There are excellent sections on the various surgical techniques required to perform successful off-pump surgery. The section on outcomes after beating heart surgery is also excellent and provides justifications for why surgeons are pursuing this new arena of surgical revascularization. "This book represents a broad overview...of the field of beating heart surgery. It is timely and a nice addition to the literature. It is recommended for practicing surgeons with an interest in this field." --Doody’s Review Service "The book represents a comprehensive overview of the field, and it provides excellent sections on the various surgical techniques required to perform successful off-pump surgery.
