Cardiac surgeons from across North America, with a few colleagues in Germany, offer a visual aid for teaching procedures and techniques of operations for coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, aortic disease, and other conditions. Among specific topics are cannulation techniques for cardiopulmonary bypass, minimally invasive cardiac surgical coronary artery bypass grafting, repairing the myxomatous degenerated mitral valve, thoracic endovascular aortic repair for descending thoracic aortic and aortic arch aneurysms, pulsatile and axial ventricular support, and heart-lung transplantation. Most of the illustrations are color drawings, but photographs and imaging from other modalities are also included.
