Download or read book A Patient s Guide to Coronary Bypass Surgery and Its Aftermath written by Douglas C. Ewing and published by Carol Publishing Corporation. This book was released on 1996 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multimedia is making some progress; this CD-ROM reaches toward using the technology to enhance learning (rather than as a novelty, unsuccessful either as entertainment or pedagogy, as we've seen in earlier, over-hyped multimedia products). It presents visuals that can be rotated 360 degrees, audio and text "captions," and some 200 animations that do, fairly successfully, convey visual conceptions of such activities as heart blood flow, smelling, hearing, breathing, etc. The product is carefully conceived, and will serve nicely as a novel supplement to introductory texts on the subject, for students who have access to the needed computer power. Available in separate Macintosh and Windows versions; needs 486 DX, Windows 3.1, 8 Mb RAM. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book The Practice of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery written by D. Miller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few advances in cardiovascular medicine have so captured the inter est of physicians and the public alike as has coronary artery bypass surgery. Cardiologists who lived through the era of false hopes and frustrations of previous" operations" for coronary artery disease can fully appreciate what this major advance offers to their patients. The number of papers on this topic presented at national meetings attest to its popularity, but also make it increasingly difficult for anyone to assimilate all the data. Practitioners who must consider coronary artery bypass surgery for their patients may thus have difficulty in coming to some rational decision regarding the indications for the operation and its consequences. Depending on the "authority" that one reads, there is still some controversy as to which patients are candidates for coronary artery surgery. This monograph on the prac tice of coronary artery bypass surgery, therefore, comes as a welcome boon to cardiologists, surgeons, internists, and general practitioners who must consider referring their patients for such surgery. It presents a balanced and reasonable picture of the overall subject, in addition to containing important information on such topics as opera tive technique and economic impact. Dr. Miller has done an outstand ing job in bringing together in one text the important considerations related to the evaluation of patients, the natural history of coronary artery disease and the benefits and problems associated with bypass surgery.

Download or read book Technical Aspects of Modern Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery written by Mario Gaudino and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-11-08 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coronary surgery encompasses two thirds of all adult cardiac surgery cases. With the endless pursuit of better outcomes, modern coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become technically more complex in ways that are well beyond the training of the average cardiac surgeon. The old concept of "one-technique-fits-all" has been abandoned in favour of a specialized approach tailored to the individual patient. In fact, in recent years, there is a growing movement towards establishing coronary surgery as a super-specialization of cardiac surgery. Technical Aspects of Modern Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery aims to expand on both the basics and complexities of the technical aspects of coronary surgery. It serves as an up to date resource that illustrates and details the advancement and techniques in this field which may soon become a separate super-specialty. With a particular emphasis on illustrations, the book will be an essential reference book for both established surgeons that have no experience in advanced CABG, and the new generation of CABG surgeons. - A complete and concise resource on all aspects of coronary surgery - In-depth illustrative review of various coronary techniques - Covers both current recommendations and well-established practices in the field
