Download or read book Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery written by Theo Kofidis and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery(MICS) is an integral component of every future cardiac surgeon’s training. There continues to be a growing global demand towards less invasive surgical techniques. Both cardiologist and cardiac surgeon form "heart teams" to provide patients with novel, minimally invasive procedures, with all their benefits. Less invasive techniques are often complex and require special knowhow and skills. This book offers an innovative approach to learning, utilizing QR code technology, which refers the reader to essential audio-visual material, which, along with the didactic text, focuses on practical aspects of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. In modern Heart Teams, and with the advent of the hybrid era, surgeons will only be able to survive if they have state-of-the-art skills in less invasive technologies, which can be incorporated in the hybrid theatre and/or trans-catheter arena. This text accompanies the surgeon along this path, and provides clinical advice and practical solutions, beyond the necessary basic knowledge. Which courses to visit, which videos to watch, which centres to join for serious training? How best to exploit public and multimedia? How to consent a patient into a MICS procedure? How to set up a MICS program or practice? In the era of value driven outcomes, and a shift towards shorter and better patient journeys, MICS is a skill that no heart surgeon can be without. Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: A Practical Guide is a teaching resource, reference book and manual written by surgeons who both operate and teach the procedures described within. Provides access to online resources via QR codes Includes links to videos and the e-version of the text Acts as a gateway to a huge choice of minimally invasive cardiac surgery materials

Download or read book Minimally Invasive Cardiac and Vascular Surgical Techniques written by Fiona M. Clements and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ardiac surgeons are rethinking all their traditional techniques--avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass when feasible, attempting to reduce incision size, and thereby reduce the trauma inflicted on the patient. The technology involved in performing minimally invasive surgery concerns not only instrumentation but also anesthetic management, for example, the use of transesophageal echocardiography and radiological interventions in the operating suite for the stenting of the aorta. This latest volume in the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists Monograph series addresses the anesthesiologist's changing role in dealing with patients undergoing these newer, unconventional surgical operations.

Download or read book Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery State of the art and current challenges written by Tomas Holubec and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-20 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the significant progress in the development of emerging technologies and improved surgical techniques in the cardiovascular field, Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) has undergone a rapid evolution over the past two decades. Currently, nearly half of all cardiac surgeries are performed through small skin incisions (minithoracotomy and ministernotomy), or involve other less-invasive approaches (no involvement of cardiopulmonary bypass, valve-sparing operations, etc.). This trend continues to evolve, notably with the development of increasingly efficient endoscopic, robotic and transcatheter procedures.

Download or read book Beating Heart Bypass Surgery and Minimally Invasive Conduit Harvesting written by V. Gulielmos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early days of cardiac surgery, but also in the following four decades, median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass were nearly always included in cardiac surgical procedures. Less invasive surgical techniques were developed with the aim of reducing perioperative trauma without compromising the surgical result, and things became more complex for cardiac surgeons. They now often had to consider the surgical access of choice and whether cardiopulmonary bypass should be used or not. Since the mid 1990s, not only have several novel minimally invasive surgical techniques been presented, but also further refinements have been recommended from time to time. This work comes to fill a gap in the field of coronary artery bypass grafting and conduit harvesting in cardiac surgery, by gathering the mature version of such new, less invasive techniques combining safety, effectiveness, simplicity, sometimes even reducing procedural costs and that always for the patient’s and for the surgeon’s sake.

Download or read book Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery written by Joseph Zacharias and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is unique in describing the practical considerations of endoscopic cardiac surgery. It covers this topic from basic concepts such as patient selection to imaging and outlines the different approaches to particular endoscopic cardiac surgical procedures. As there is an increasing acceptance that cardiac surgery needs to be provided to older and sicker patients and more asymptomatic patients, the option of a sternotomy is becoming less appealing. The endoscope has changed the patient pathway in many surgical specialities, but until recently cardiac surgery has been slow to adopt this approach. With improvements in imaging and better imaging technology, there is a steady increase in accepted procedures and trained surgeons offering this approach. Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery: Tips, Tricks and Traps captures the experience of endoscopic cardiac surgeons from around the world and is a concise yet thorough reference book for those starting a program in this discipline. With over 3 hours of associated video material, it will be an essential primer for the discipline, therefore making it a valuable reference for trainees in cardiac surgery and experienced surgeons wishing to add this approach to their armamentarium.
