Arterial myocardial revascularization

This instructive publication focuses on arterial myocardial revascularization performed on the beating heart. It comprehensively informs about the latest knowledge in the field of this intensively developing surgical technique, while the findings are based on the latest literature references and the author's own experience. The book discusses the five most commonly used arterial grafts at present. The author describes in detail the development of these techniques, the preoperative examination of grafts, the method of their harvesting, including their use in cardiac revascularization. The reader has the opportunity to learn about the risks associated with arterial revascularization, but also its benefits. The book is a challenge for cardiac surgeons and cardiologists to consider a change of perspective on the surgical treatment of ICHS and at the same time a highly professional study material for both students and physicians preparing for certification in cardiac surgery. The book was reviewed by prof. MUDr. IN. Fischer, CSc., FICS, and prof. MUDr. J. Dominik, CSc.
