The sixth edition of this acclaimed and established operative atlas continues to provide a unique level of comprehensive detail on operative surgery of the heart and great vessels.

With an international list of authors, the chapters have been updated and complemented by the same high-quality artwork that has established this operative guide as the gold standard reference for the cardiac surgeon.

The chapters are arranged in seven sections, with each section emphasising the overall management of patients, tricks of the trade of individual authors, and discussion of technical and clinical judgement.
