“This book will primarily benefit surgeons and cardiologists who treat and follow patients with coronary disease. … Trainees in these areas will find this a state-of-the-art reference and valuable educational resource during their training. … Surgeons will find the breadth of surgical approaches, including minimally invasive and hybrid techniques, very interesting. … This excellent book discusses this complex and important subject in comprehensive detail.” (Michael Bates, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2016)
