On Bypass

From the reviews: "The first half of this book covers perfusion techniques from both a physician's and a perfusionist's perspective while the remainder is devoted to various advanced techniques, policies, and procedures guidelines. The purpose is to 'investigate advanced perfusion techniques that are being currently practiced.' A compilation of this data is rare and the authors meet their goal. This book is useful for both student perfusionists attempting to acquire new skills and experienced perfusionists who want a reference." (Vic D. Martychenko, Doody's Review Service, May, 2008)
