Focusing exclusively on the surgical management of aortic arch disease in adults, this concise reference provides authoritative guidance on both standard and alternative approaches from internationally recognized experts.
Topics include:
* general principles of aortic diseases
* imaging techniques
* intraoperative management
* neurologic protection strategies
* options for aortic repair
* surgical treatment of specific problems
* complications
Abundant illustrations demonstrate significant imaging study findings and depict key techniques and strategies.
With its detailed descriptions and thorough explanations of a wide variety of approaches to imaging, brain protection and monitoring, and aortic reconstruction, Aortic Arch Surgery: Principles, Strategies and Outcomes gives practicing and prospective thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons access to the full armamentarium of management options. Anesthesiologists, perfusionists, neurologists, radiologists, and others who have a special interest in treating patients with thoracic aortic disease will also find this book an invaluable source of dependable information.
