This book is primarily aimed at cardiac surgeons, surgical trainees, and members of multidisciplinary heart teams seeking to develop or enhance their skills in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. It is also valuable for educators and clinicians involved in cardiac surgical training and those interested in integrating new surgical technologies and methods into practice.

Cardiac surgeons worldwide have rapidly adopted minimally invasive and hybrid techniques as demand from patients for less invasive approaches grows exponentially. This is the first comprehensive, practical guide for surgeons at all levels wishing to develop specialist skills in minimally invasive cardiac and hybrid surgery.

Description

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is an integral component of every future cardiac surgeon’s training. There continues to be a growing global demand towards less invasive surgical techniques. Both cardiologists and cardiac surgeons form "heart teams" to provide patients with novel, minimally invasive procedures, along with all their benefits.

Less invasive techniques are often complex and require special knowhow and skills. This book offers an innovative approach to learning, utilizing QR code technology, which refers the reader to essential audio-visual material. Along with the didactic text, it focuses on the practical aspects of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. In modern Heart Teams, and with the advent of the hybrid era, surgeons will only be able to survive if they have state-of-the-art skills in less invasive technologies, which can be incorporated in the hybrid theatre and/or trans-catheter arena.

This text accompanies the surgeon along this path and provides clinical advice and practical solutions beyond the necessary basic knowledge. Which courses to visit, which videos to watch, and which centres to join for serious training? How best to exploit public and multimedia? How to consent a patient into a MICS procedure? How to set up a MICS program or practice? In the era of value-driven outcomes and a shift towards shorter and better patient journeys, MICS is a skill that no heart surgeon can be without.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: A Practical Guide is a teaching resource, reference book, and manual written by surgeons who both operate and teach the procedures described within.
