The use of arterial grafts in myocardial revascularisation surgery is becoming an increasingly important option both in Europe and the United States. Clinical results show that postoperatively, patients have significantly less chance of myocardial infarction and reoperation.
Drawing on the most up to date findings, this book provides a valuable introduction to the subject for cardiac and vascular surgeons, covering all aspects from historical and biological background to surgical techniques for various types of arterial conduit and postoperative management and results.
The contributors are, without exception, top surgeons with extensive practical experience in implementing and developing this technique.
