The third edition of Cardiac Surgery in the Adult presents new knowledge and current experience by the world’s leading cardiovascular surgeons and physicians for the treatment of adults with congenital, acquired, infectious, and traumatic diseases of the heart and great vessels.
The third edition release date in 2007 celebrates the tenth anniversary of the publication of the first edition edited by L. Henry “Hank” Edmunds in 1997.
In the short span of ten years there have been enormous changes in the cardiac surgical armamentarium, with new innovations in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, new percutaneous cardiovascular devices, and new approaches in the imaging, diagnosis, and treatment of all forms of cardiac disease. There have also been changes in cardiac surgical demographics, with increasing interest in percutaneous intervention, endovascular graft technology, and concomitant interest in the pursuit of cross-training for endovascular skills.
There are six new chapters in areas related to these new technologies:
Book features:
Lawrence H. Cohn, MD, is Virginia and James Hubbard Professor of Cardiac Surgery at Harvard Medical School's Division of Cardiac Surgery and Professor of Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He is the Former President, American Association of Thoracic Surgeons; Former President, American College of Chest Physicians; and Former President, National Library of Medicine Board of Regents. One of the most famous cardiac surgeons in the world---recent notable highlights include a published interview in NEJM and inclusion in a documentary on the heart, which aired on PBS.

There are six new chapters in areas related to these new technologies:
- percutaneous valve therapy,
- minimally invasive valve,
- coronary artery bypass surgery,
- updates in percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease,
- the latest data on stem cell technology.
- Every chapter has been updated with significant new information and a revamped bibliography.
Book features:
- All the latest surgical perspectives and techniques in ischemic and valvular heart disease, disease of great vessels, cardiac arrhythmias, and more.
- Expert authorship by one of the world's most respected cardiac surgeons, with contributions from an internationally recognized group of authors.
- Cutting-edge overview of cardiothoracic transplantations, circulatory support, and nontransplant options for heart failure.
- Brand new, timely chapters on cardiac imaging, minimally invasive procedures, and stem cell therapy.
- Reworked illustration program, featuring newly commissioned two-color drawings, with classic artwork from the previous editions colorized.
- Two-color format throughout the text, which helps you efficiently navigate chapter material, providing quick access to key information.
- Complimentary DVD with video clips that help simplify complex procedures.
