In this book the authors review the surgical management of patients with aortic disease. This reference reviews each controversy and provides practical answers to the cardiac surgeon and will help them reveal the spectrum of disorders and their management.

Part of the Monographs in Cardiac Surgery Series – Introducing ‘basic science into the cardiac operating room’.

Part of the Monographs in Cardiac Surgery Series – Introducing ‘basic science into the cardiac operating room’. Fast systematic review of small areas of cardiac surgery including up-to-date information. This will allow more rapid publication than the alternative cardiac surgery ‘tomes’. This entry into the series will provide readers with a complete review of the current understanding in mitral valve surgery and include extensive details on the diagnosis and surgical management of patients with mitral valve disease.

This book provides new perspectives on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Chapters cover atherosclerosis risk factors, the effect of growth and aging on vascular architecture, and the crucial role the microvasculature plays in atherosclerosis development. Microvascular dysfunction would explain why the well-known risk factors actually put individuals at higher risk. This pathomechanism would also hold true not only for obstructive atheroma formation but also for aneurysmal dilatation as well as for aortic and peripheral artery dissection. When seen through this lens, novel preventive and therapeutic opportunities can be envisioned.Atherosclerosis Pathogenesis and Microvascular Dysfunction proposes a single unifying mechanism of atherosclerosis development and describes potential preventative and therapeutic avenues based on this concept. It therefore represents a timely and valuable resource for internal medicine, cardiology, angiology cardiovascular surgeons, pathology clinicians, researchers, trainees, and students.

Die Kapitel befassen sich mit den Risikofaktoren für Atherosklerose, den Auswirkungen von Wachstum und Alterung auf die Gefäßarchitektur und der entscheidenden Rolle, die das Mikrogefäßsystem bei der Entstehung von Atherosklerose spielt.

Die moderne Herzchirurgie umfasst ein breites Spektrum von Eingriffen bei angeborenen und erworbenen Erkrankungen des Herzens und der herznahen Gefäße. Alle relevanten Eingriffe sind in diesem Band detailliert beschrieben und durch instruktive Zeichnungen illustriert, für jede Erkrankung werden die Operationsindikationen sorgfältig herausgearbeitet. Neben der herzchirurgischen Intensivtherapie sind auch aktuelle Entwicklungen wie Zelltherapie und Kunstherzimplantation berücksichtigt. Alle Kapitel wurden von ausgewiesenen Experten komplett neu verfasst - über 30 Autoren aus 20 herzchirurgischen Zentren vorwiegend im deutschsprachigen Raum haben zu dem Buch beigetragen. Nur ein Teil der Zeichnungen und der Titel wurden noch aus der 2.Auflage der „Herzchirurgie" übernommen, die 1991 in der Kirschnerschen Operationslehre erschienen war.

This text describes and illustrates with some 700 detailed anatomic and surgical drawings the whole spectrum of surgical procedures employed to treat acquired and congenital diseases of the heart and great vessels in adults and children.A rather traditional chapter on history of cardiac surgery precedes chapters dedicated to quality improvement, followed by ICU management in adult and pediatric cardiac surgery, and techniques of extracorporeal circulation in both age groups.Further special topics are cardiovascular tissue engineering, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, endovascular treatment of aortic diseases, and cardiac assist devices, including total artificial heart.Written by 71 internationally recognized experts from 40 cardiac units in Central Europe and North America, this book will be invaluable not only for both novice and experienced surgeons, but also for all physicians, nurses, and technicians caring for patients with heart disease of any type,at any age.
