Book Description
The treatment of end-stage heart failure with advanced surgical therapies has evolved significantly over the last several years and is a dynamic subspecialty within cardiac surgery. Surgical Treatment for Advanced Heart Failure describes the surgical management of advanced heart failure, including coronary artery revascularization, mitral valve repair, aortic valve replacement, ventricular remodeling, cardiac resynchronization, mechanical circulatory support with short-term devices for acute stabilization, long-term mechanical support as a bridge to transplant and for destination therapy, left ventricular assist devices, complete cardiac replacement with the total artificial heart, and cardiac transplantation. With contributions from a distinguished group of heart failure cardiologists and transplant surgeons, it is an authoritative resource for cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and surgeons.

Book Description
This book provides the most up to date information on every aspect of clinical care relating to patients with advanced heart failure who require mechanical circulatory support as a treatment strategy. The book begins with an extensive description of the preoperative patient selection process as well as preoperative medical optimization, including bridge to bridge strategies with short-term devices. The book then transitions into a description of a variety of surgical implantation techniques with special considerations for reoperative surgery. A chapter on intraoperative anesthesia management is specifically focused on intraoperative issues relating to MCS patients. Subsequent chapters focus on perioperative management as well as long-term management of patients on MCS, including optimization of a patient’s LVAD speed. A dedicated chapter on the diagnosis of device thrombosis as well as surgical techniques and outcomes associated with device exchanges is also included. The book also summarizes the national and international outcomes data for using MCS as a bridge to transplant and destination therapy. There is also a chapter on the utility of stem cells as an adjunct technique for inducing myocardial recovery. Finally, the book has chapters on complications of MCS, management of right ventricular failure, and the future of MCS.

Book Description
Medical and Surgical Therapy for Advanced Heart Failure in the Modern Era provides a comprehensive and in-depth review of important topics in both medical and surgical therapy of heart failure, with a special focus on the recent and significant advancements in the field. The book is divided in sections, first reviewing the updated epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical approach to advanced heart failure, then the medical and surgical therapies respectively, and finally exploring the controversies and modern advancements in the field. Topics includes advancements in our understanding and treatment of patients supported with ventricular assist devices including protocol for gastrointestinal bleeding, blood pressure management, anticoagulation practices, and management of valvular disease during LVAD support. It includes use of Entresto, a novel agent used in heart failure, and use of remote monitoring such as the Cardiomems system. From a surgical standpoint, there are new technologies in this space including fully implantable LVADs on the horizon, and the Sherpapak system for maintaining cold temperature during donor organ transport. Hepatitis C positive donors are being used now for heart transplantation as well. The book serves as the ultimate reference to patient care with advanced heart failure by covering both medical and surgical therapies in the same volume, suitable for cardiologists, clinicians, surgeons, and researchers alike.
