Coselli Joseph S. Aortic arch surgery: Principles, Strategies and Outcomes

Wiley-Blackwell, 2009. — 400 p. — ISBN: 978-1-444-30052-9.Focusing exclusively on the surgical management of aortic arch disease in adults, this concise reference provides authoritative guidance on both standard and alternative approaches from internationally recognized experts.Topics include:general principles of aortic diseases
imaging techniques
intraoperative management
neurologic protection strategies
options for aortic repair
surgical treatment of specific problems
complications
Abundant illustrations demonstrate significant imaging study findings and depict key techniques and strategies.
With its detailed descriptions and thorough explanations of a wide variety of approaches to imaging, brain protection and monitoring, and aortic reconstruction, Aortic Arch Surgery: Principles, Strategies and Outcomes gives practicing and prospective thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons access to the full armamentarium of management options. Anesthesiologists, perfusionists, neurologists, radiologists, and others who have a special interest in treating patients with thoracic aortic disease will also find this book an invaluable source of dependable information.General Principles.Historical Perspective – The Evolution of Aortic Arch Surgery.
