商品描述

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (performed through small incisions in the chest) has many advantages over traditional open-heart surgery including reduced blood loss, less post-operative discomfort, lower risk of infection and faster recovery. Hybrid approaches allow cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists to work side by side in order to achieve optimal results for the patient. Cardiac surgeons worldwide are rapidly adopting minimally invasive and hybrid techniques as demand from patients for less invasive approaches grows exponentially. This is the first comprehensive, practical guide for surgeons at all levels wishing to develop specialist skills in MICS and hybrid surgery.
