Atlas of Adult Cardiac Surgery

Part 1 Incisions and preparations for cardiopulmonary bypass: incisions; exposure; preparations of cardiopulmonary bypass. Part 2 Operations on the aortic valve: repair of aortic stenosis - debridement; replacement of the aortic valve for aortic stenosis; replacement of the valve for aortic incompetence; replacement of dysfunctional prosthetic valves; enlargement of the aortic annulus; myectomy for asymmetric septal hypertrophy. Part 3 Operations on the mitral valve: mitral valvuloplasty for mitral stenosis; mitral valve replacement of mitral stenosis; mitral valvuloplasty of mitral incompetence; mitral valve replacement for mitral incompetence. Part 4 Multivalvular operations: combined aortic and mitral valve procedures; combined mitral and tricuspid valve procedures; triple valve procedures. Part 5 Operations on the thoracic aorta: resection and grafting of the descending aorta; resection and grafting of the aortic arch; resection and grafting of the ascending aorta - without valve replacement; with valve replacement and coronary reimplantation. Part 6 Operations for ischemic heart disease: aorto-coronary bypass using saphenous vein; use of internal mammary arteries for coronary bypass; resection of left ventricular septal defect; mitral valve repair-replacement for ischemic mitral incompetence. Part 7 Cardiac transplantation: donor cardiectomy; recipient implantation.
