Pediatric Cardiac Surgery 4th edition [Kõva köide]

First published in 1985, then updated in 1994 and 2003, this text is now in its fourth edition and has new chapters and revisions incorporating new techniques and understanding, even with regard to the relatively static field of cardiac embryology that has seen new developments. Editor Mavroudis (Florida Hospital for Children) and associate editor Backer (Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine) strongly acknowledge the significant contributions of Rachid Idriss, whose drawings continue to elucidate techniques and anatomy in this edition.
