In the operating room, precision is everything. The Complete Atlas of Cardiac Surgery stands as the definitive visual and technical guide for cardiac surgeons seeking mastery-from foundational anatomy to the most complex reconstructive and reoperative techniques. This is not just another reference book-it is a surgical companion that brings clarity, confidence, and control to every step of cardiac surgery.
Across 35 comprehensive chapters, this atlas covers the full spectrum of contemporary cardiac surgery. From the fundamentals of surgical anatomy, cannulation, and myocardial protection, to advanced procedures such as valve-sparing aortic root replacement, robotic mitral repair, hybrid coronary revascularization, and heart transplantation-each operation is meticulously detailed with step-by-step guidance, high-quality illustrations, and evidence-based strategies.
Every section integrates real-world surgical decision-making, intraoperative troubleshooting, and “clinical pearls” distilled from decades of collective experience by expert surgeons.
Whether you are a resident mastering the basics, a fellow refining complex valve techniques, or a practicing surgeon advancing minimally invasive or reoperative approaches, this atlas provides what few resources can:

Over 1,000 full-color, step-by-step illustrations that translate complex procedures into visual clarity.

Expert commentary that bridges surgical technique with patient outcomes.

Comprehensive procedural coverage-from CABG to TAVR, from LVAD to heart transplant, from MAZE procedures to redo sternotomies.
