Heart and Lung Transplantation
An excellent resource for practitioners who participate in the care of transplant patients, this comprehensive new second edition covers all aspects of heart and lung transplantation. Each area of the field is fully addressed, with documentation and practical points for patient management provided throughout. An especially notable feature of this new edition is the greatly expanded coverage of lung transplantation, with every chapter rewritten to reflect changes to current information in the field.
Features :
* Complete coverage of all aspects of heart and lung transplantation, including evaluation and management of transplant patients, anesthetic and operative techniques, postoperative care, biopsy techniques, immunosuppressive management, long-term management, and pediatric transplantation.
* Thorough discussions of programmatic issues, donor evaluation and graft preservation, morbidity associated with transplantation, and future implications.
* Contributions from renowned experts, many from Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University.
What's New :
* Includes two new editors: Edward Kasper, MD and James Theodore, MD.
* Offers significantly expanded coverage on lung transplantation, sections on single lung transplantation, current rejection management, new operative techniques, and effective patient care.
* Presents several new chapters including: Medical and Surgical Alternatives to Cardiac Transplantation (Ch. 8), Living Related Lung Transplantation (Ch. 43), Lung Pathology (Ch. 28), Immunosuppressive Therapy in the 21st Century (Ch. 48), and Management of Congestive Heart Failure in the 21st Century (Ch. 49).
* Covers new information on quality of care, circulatory support and Mechanical Circulatory Assistance Prior to Heart Transplantation (Ch. 12).
