Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery - Tapa dura

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This is the second edition of Dr. S. Bert Litwin’s ‘Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery.’ ... All students, residents and practicing cardiothoracic surgeons will benefit from reviewing these superb photographs of the anterior surface anatomy of the heart. ... This atlas should be a key reference in the library of all children’s hospitals, especially in those institutions where pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery fellows are in training. ... provide useful information to any student of congenital heart disease at any point in his/her career." (John J. Lamberti, Congential Cardiology Today, September, 2009)

This thorough revision of Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery features 700 vividly reproduced intraoperative images taken with a special side-mounted flash. They convey exquisite perception of depth in the operative field in full color. The atlas presents surgical techniques for the full spectrum of cardiac congenital anomalies. This includes revised and updated text on many topics such as repair of straddling tricuspid valve associated with the posterior ventricular septal defect. Throughout the text, the carefully labeled photographs provide vivid representation of three-dimensional spatial relations of congenital anomalies and surgical anatomy.
