Surgical Treatment of Congenital Heart Disease: Understanding Morphology and Ultimate Three-Dimensional Reconstruction

This Atlas delves into the morphology of congenital heart disease, treatment strategies, and detailed surgical procedures. It is visually engaging, featuring numerous figures and innovative descriptions of cardiac anatomy using 3D CT images with various cross-sections. Additionally, it comprehensively covers the conduction system, including the development, classification, and surgical treatment selection for complex congenital heart diseases like transposition of the great arteries, double outlet right ventricle, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The book also explains the many innovative surgical techniques developed by the author, such as the half-turned truncal switch operation and the double-decker operation, as well as the ePTFE valved conduit for right ventricular outflow reconstruction. In addition to CT images, the book includes illustrations by the author that explain pathophysiology, anatomy, and key surgical techniques. High-quality surgical videos are also provided, enhancing understanding from embryology to surgery. Pediatric cardiac surgeons, pediatricians, physicians, and pathologists at all levels will find this book invaluable for understanding diseases and making informed treatment decisions. Originally published in Japanese, this translation has been well-received, and the author is delighted to share it with a global audience.
