This is the first book to focus purely on interpreting biopsy pathology specimens from heart and heart/lung transplant patients.
Each chapter contains a brief introduction covering the clinical conditions seen in these patients, followed by a large body of colour photographs explained by detailed captions to give a comprehensive overview of the subject. Highly illustrated in full colour, the photographs are taken from two of the best collections of transplant pathology images in the world: Stanford and Papworth.
Reflecting the close working relationship between pathologists and clinicians in transplantation, the appendices cover both practical methodologies for taking biopsy specimens and details on how to prepare and process them.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
...a quick and easy read. Junior pathologists approaching the practical exam would be well advised to examine the photographic images.
