Overview

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is a relatively new field that cardiac surgeons are increasingly embracing. Its adoption is exponentially increasing, and patients and cardiologists are demanding this with more enthusiasm. This is a current subject of great interest and contemporary results are already present, with more awaiting to be published. The book describes the whole journey through the set-up of a minimally invasive mitral valve surgery program, pertinent investigations, patient selection, different approaches (including endoscopic and robotic), cardio-pulmonary bypass, re-operations and its application with tricuspid and atrial fibrillation surgery. This book is directed to all training cardiac surgeons and cardiologists, consultant cardiac surgeons and cardiologists, anaesthetists, intensive care specialists and perfusionists. This is the first book authored exclusively on this subject. The two editors are leading authorities on this subject in UK and are mentors for many surgical programs. Every chapter is authored by specialists in that particular aspect of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery discussed. The contributors are mainly from USA and Europe.
