Cardiothoracic Surgery Review
Cardiothoracic Surgery Review covers all of the core knowledge necessary to pass the cardiothoracic boards or the cardiothoracic recertification exam. Each topic presents core information in two-to-four pages and concludes with a brief list of the most important references. The topics cover all areas in cardiothoracic surgery, including cardiac surgery, pediatric cardiac surgery, and thoracic surgery. Included with the book is a companion website featuring the fully searchable text and over 60 procedural videos. This topic-based review is ideal for anyone needing to rapidly reference an up-to-date knowledge base in cardiothoracic surgery, including cardiothoracic fellows, practitioners studying for recertification, and surgical nurses.
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine: Rising Stars 2022
We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine “Rising Stars” article collection. This collection showcases the high-quality work of internationally recognized researchers in the early stages of their independent careers. All Rising Star researchers were individually nominated by the Chief Editors of the Journal in recognition of their potential to influence the future directions in their respective fields. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of cardiovascular medicine, including the elucidation of fundamental biology, the development of novel diagnostics or therapeutics, computational modelling approaches, and bioengineering strategies for regeneration.
Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Therapies
ranscatheter valve therapies have emerged as a viable treatments option for patients deemed high risk for conventional surgery. Whilst transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is now established as the standard of care in high-risk aortic stenosis patients, the mitral and tricuspid frontiers have proved to be more challenging. Anatomical heterogeneity, device development, refining patient selection and until recently the absence of randomised data have all been contributing factors. For mitral regurgitation, transcatheter edge to edge repair (TEER) now benefits from positive randomised data along with significant advancements in device technology. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) options are also making rapid progress. More recently, tricuspid regurgitation has become the central focus of the structural heart community having previously been referred to as the “forgotten valve”
Advances in Treatments for Aortic Valve and Root Diseases
This book describes the different aspects of aortic valve and root diseases including comprehensive discussion of the state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging options, disease risk stratification, selection of candidates for valve repair or percutaneous intervention, and most recent therapeutic options. The growing prevalence of valvular heart disease represents a major challenge in terms of short- and long-term management and surveillance. Aortic valve diseases, including aortic stenosis and regurgitation, are among the most frequent of these, while the number of cases of aortic root disease is also on the rise. Aortic valve disease treatment options include valve surgery, valve repair, minimally invasive valve surgery, and percutaneous approaches and all are covered in this volume. Advances in Treatments for Aortic Valve and Root Diseases is a highly illustrated, case oriented reference aimed at cardiology fellows in training, while also helpful to surgeons, cardiologists, imagers, interventionalists, as well as other clinicians and students involved in the diagnosis and treatment of aortic valve and root diseases.
Inflammation and Heart Surgery
Cardiac Surgery remains amongst the most intensive and at-risk surgical procedures. Various factors, such as surgical trauma, and the extracorporeal circulation, induce complex systemic inflammatory responses as well as organ-specific perioperative morbidity and mortality. Despite advancements in surgical techniques and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technologies over the previous decades, Cardiac Surgery continues to be associated with these significantly fatal complications. For example, analysis of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database of > 600,000 isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) procedures identified major postoperative complications including stroke, renal failure, re-operations, and prolonged ventilation in 10.3% patients undergoing this procedure, with a failure to rescue rate in 16-22% of cases.
