Summary:

The book is a comprehensive and authoritative reference covering both standard and alternative approaches to the surgical management of aortic arch pathology in adults. Internationally recognized experts have made contributions to cover general principles of aortic diseases; diagnostic imagining techniques; intraoperative management and adjuncts; intraoperative neurological protection strategies; graft repair options; surgical treatment of specific problems, and complications. This textbook is packed with illustrations and images for key techniques and strategies. There are currently no books that focus exclusively on aortic arch surgery, which makes this book unique. The primary market for this book includes thoracic, cardiovascular, and cardiac surgeons. The secondary market includes: perfusionists, cardiovascular anesthesiologists, neurologists, radiologists, and thoracic and cardiovascular residents and fellows.
