Overview

This comprehensive atlas of surgical procedures is concerned with both congenital and acquired heart disease. The 49 chapters in 12 parts provide technical descriptions of different open heart operations along with illustrations that show step-by-step procedures. The illustrations art presented from the surgeon's perspective, that is, as viewed by the surgeon at the operating table. Basic operations plus less frequently performed procedures are covered. The first section covers basic considerations, such as the anatomy set up and equipment needs. Surgery for congenital heart disease is then discussed, followed by acquired heart disease. Later sections include transplantation and cardiac tumours.

Basic considerations: cardiac anatomy - the surgeon's perspective; set-up for cardiac surgery; equipment and accessories. Septal defects: atrial septal defect; defects of the atrioventricular septum; ventricular septal defect; aortopulmonary septal defect. Anomalies pulmonary venous connection: partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with sinus venosus atrial septal defect; total anomalous pulmonary venous connection; cor triatriatum. Right heart valve lesions (congenital): pulmonary valvotomy; tetralogy of Fallot; right ventricular-pulmonary artery discontinuity; Ebstein's anomaly. Left heart valve lesions (Congenital): aortic stenosis - valvular; supravalvular aortic stenosis; subvalvular aortic stenosis; left ventricular outflow obstruction; sinus of Valsalva fistula. Single ventricle: septation of univentricular heart; modified Fontan procedure; hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Malposition of the great arteries: transposition of the great arteries; transposition with ventricular inversion; double-outlet right ventricle. Thoracic arteries and veins (congenital): anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery; patent ductus arteriosus; coartaction of the aorta; vascular ring; palliative operations; interrupted aortic arch. Valve lesions (acquired): aortic valve replacement; aortic valve replacement outcomes; hypertrophic subaortic stenosis; mitral valve reconstructions; mitral valve replacement; tricuspid valve reconstruction. Ischemic heart disease: aorta-coronary bypass using saphenous vein graft; internal mammary artery bypass grafts; coronary thromboendarterectomy; visceral artery bypass grafts; ventricular aneurysm. Thoracic arteries and veins (acquired): aortic aneurysm; bypass of superior vena cava - composite spiral vein craft; permanent pacemaker implantation. Special problems: cardiac transplantation; lung transplantation; surgery for cardiac arrhythmias; cardiac tumours.
