Congenital Heart Surgery

Over 10 years after the publication of the second edition, Wiley now publishes the third edition of the popular volume Surgery for Congenital Heart Defects. Completely updated and expanded, this new edition describes step-by-step the surgical procedures for congenital heart defects and includes detailed illustrations for each operation. New in this edition are chapters on exercise testing, MRI, EP studies and catheter ablation of arrhythmias, extracorporeal circulatory support and paediatric lung transplantation. A greatly expanded ultrasound chapter contains numerous colour Doppler’s of many conditions. Surgery for Congenital Heart Defects, Third Edition: Provides complete coverage of the current issues in paediatric cardiac surgery Offers tips and surgical techniques to master difficult surgical situations Uniquely displays detailed illustrations for each operation, allowing surgeons to follow all operating procedures step-by-step Serves both as reference and training manual

This atlas comprehensively covers surgical techniques for congenital heart surgery. As the population with congenital heart defects increases more and more operations will be required to treat the residual defects, new defects, and replacement strategies such as valve replacements. Chapters are devoted to specific conditions and feature detailed descriptions of how to perform a variety of appropriate reparative surgical techniques; involving complex anatomy, reoperative surgery, and unique techniques to this speciality, enabling the reader to develop a deep understanding of how to successfully resolve situations such as left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, anomalous pulmonary venous return, and anomalous origin of the coronary arteries. Atlas of Adult Congenital Heart Surgery provides a foundational resource for practising and trainee cardiac surgeons, nurses, and healthcare associates seeking specialist training and insight to the resolution of congenital heart diseases in adults.

Der Bereich der pädiatrischen Herz- und Gefäßchirurgie umfasst nicht nur die Herzchirurgie bei Säuglingen und Kindern, sondern auch die Herzchirurgie bei Erwachsenen zur Korrektur von angeborenen Herzfehlern. Da die Kindersterblichkeit aufgrund von Herzfehlern zurückgeht und Patienten mit angeborenen Herzfehlern zunehmend ein langes, gesundes Leben führen, ergeben sich neue Herausforderungen. Somit war der Bedarf an Einführungen in diesen lebensrettenden Bereich noch nie so groß. Pediatric Cardiac Surgery ist ein gut verständliches, umfassendes Lehrbuch, das diesen Bedarf seit über dreißig Jahren erfüllt und von Fachleuten auf allen Ebenen genutzt wird. Das Lehrwerk, das zahlreiche farbige Abbildungen enthält, bietet zunächst eine wissenschaftliche Einführung in die kardiovaskuläre Entwicklung und dann detaillierte Analysen von Defekten in verschiedenen Bereichen des Herzens mit den entsprechenden Verfahren zur Korrektur dieser Defekte. Die aktualisierte fünfte Auflage berücksichtigt die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse und bleibt damit ein unverzichtbares Werk zu diesem Thema. Die fünfte Auflage von Pediatric Cardiac Surgery enthält unter anderem: * Beiträge von über 75 nationalen und internationalen Experten auf dem Gebiet * Beeindruckende anatomische Illustrationen von Rachid Idriss * Neue Kapitel, in denen der neueste Stand der Forschung dargestellt wird, sowie neue Inhalte in Bezug auf die kardiale Bildgebung und die medizinische Ausbildung Pediactric Cardiac Surgery ist ein wichtiges Nachschlagewerk für Herzchirurgen, die sich auf Kinder und Erwachsene spezialisiert haben, Kardiologen und alle medizinischen Fachkräfte, die mit pädiatrischen oder erwachsenen Herzpatienten arbeiten.

Expressly created to assist with decision making for surgical treatment of congenital heart defects, this new reference covers all relevant aspects. The congenital heart defects are presented with each chapter devoted to a single malformation, with incidence, morphology, associated anomalies, pathophysiology, diagnosis (including clinical pattern, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization with angiography), indications for surgical treatment, details of surgical treatment, potential complications and literature references. Morphology, pathophysiology and surgical treatment of the defects are explained with schematic drawings, while images taken from morphologic specimens, echocardiographic and angiographic investigations as well as from intra-operative photographs illustrate better than any words the key points of the decision-making process for the surgical treatment of congenital heart defects.

A bespoke, comprehensive and concise guide to the core competencies and latest management in congenital heart surgery.

A complete guide to the tools and techniques for modeling, simulating, and optimizing SSFE processes and phenomena In Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Supercritical and Subcritical Fluid Extraction Processes, a team of expert chemical engineers delivers a comprehensive guide to the tools and techniques used to model supercritical and subcritical fluid extraction (SSFE) processes and phenomena. The book offers details on SSFE experiment management, as well as modeling and optimization of SSFE. The authors begin with a discussion of the fundamentals of SSFE and the necessary experimental techniques to validate the models. They also discuss process simulators, conventional optimization techniques, and state-of-the-art genetic algorithm methods. Several practical examples and case studies on SSFE modeling and optimization techniques are provided. Additionally, detailed thermodynamic modeling with and without co-solvent and non-equilibrium system modeling are covered. Readers will also find: A detailed overview of the field of supercritical and subcritical fluid extraction and their importance to the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries Explorations of the concepts and methodologies for modeling, simulation, and optimization of SSFE, including conservation laws related to SSFE traditional first principle modeling Practical discussions of the characteristics and physical properties of palm oil as a solute and descriptions of some existing palm oil industrial processes An examination of first principle methodology as applied to the modeling of the properties of palm oil components and mixtures Perfect for researchers, scientists, technologists, and engineers working in food science and the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural industries, Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Supercritical and Subcritical Fluid Extraction Processes is also a must-read for those working with process design, development, quality control, and improvement in the chemical industries.

Fundamentals of Congenital Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery is a first of its kind, fully-illustrated guide that is solely dedicated to the most diffused congenital minimally invasive cardiac surgery procedures. It provides detailed, step-by-step descriptions of surgical maneuvers to underline each aspect of the procedures along with full color drawings and operative pictures to enhance understanding. Each chapter fully describes the preoperative setting, the needed materials and the required technical skills that make specific congenital heart defects amenable to minimally invasive surgical treatment. This is the perfect go-to reference for pediatric and congenital cardiac surgeons, and is also a must-have guide for residents in cardiac surgery who are looking to review the technical aspects and outcomes of utilizing a minimally invasive approach for cardiac surgery. Provides an extensive, step-by-step description of the most common minimally invasive pediatric cardiac surgical procedures Uses high quality, full color drawings and operative pictures of the most important steps of the procedures to facilitate understanding Combines information on both the detailed operations of minimally invasive pediatric cardiac surgery and the approach behind them
