Features: Since the mid-1990s, several new minimally invasive surgical techniques have emerged, and they have been continuously improved and applied in clinical practice. This book compiles these new minimally invasive techniques, which are characterized by safety, effectiveness, simplicity, and low cost, benefiting both patients and healthcare providers. It fills the gap in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and conduit harvesting techniques in cardiac surgery.
Key Features: A new professional guide for cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and anesthesiologists. An overview of the latest advancements in off-pump CABG. Management of complications. Special anesthesia requirements. Endoscopic conduit harvesting techniques.
This book describes currently well-established new techniques, aiming to help beginners avoid the mistakes of the past and assist them in performing minimally invasive cardiac surgery. For cardiac surgeons, this technique is more time-efficient, effective, simple, and safe; for patients, it is more beneficial.
