Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery

By M.D. Litwin, S. Bert

Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery, Second Edition, covers the full spectrum of congenital heart defects, first depicting the pathology in pre-repair photographs and then detailing step by step the operative procedure. Dr. Litwin depicts the most common procedures along with the most complex ones, providing a range of information vital to residents, fellows in training, and practicing clinicians. One of the key aspects of the utility and practicality of Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery, Second Edition, Is the unique perspective of the operative photos. Using a special side-mounted flash, the author's photographs vividly capture the three-dimensional spatial relations of congenital anomalies and surgical anatomy. Additionally, each illustration and photo is extensively labeled for clarity (indicating the patient's left, right, cephalad, and caudad positions). With over 100 new illustrations and many new procedures, the new edition of Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery, Second Edition, is both a textbook and an atlas, providing an indispensable reference for every surgeon, cardiologist, intensivist, or anesthetist who treats patients with congenital cardiac anomalies.
