Description
Coronary artery disease has been the major cause of death in developed countries for many years and carries higher and higher incidence in developing countries. Coronary artery bypass surgery is the major treatment of coronary artery disease. Arterial grafts have been developed for coronary bypass due to superior long term results and the use of arterial grafts have been rapidly growing. This book focuses on the concepts on arterial grafts, based on the scientific research on these blood vessels from world renowned research centres, and on the status of clinical practice regarding indications, operative technique, and clinical results from world renowned cardiac surgery centres. The book is written by world experts who are original contributors in the development of arterial grafts for coronary bypass surgery. By reading this book, cardiovascular researchers can find future directions for their studies. Cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and their trainees and allied professionals can obtain first hand information for their clinical practice.
