Innovative grafts for the aortic arch replacement [Esposito - Minerva Medica]

Aortic arch repair is still considered a formidable challenge for cardiovascular surgeons as well as for interventional cardiologists and radiologists, because its anatomy and pathology pose the risk of critical branch vessel perfusion, regardless of the technique used. The development of hybrid strategies, along with the recent introduction of new grafts and novel perfusion techniques, now offers tailored repair options for patients with complex aortic arch disease. Focusing on the “innovative” management of this pathology, this book provides reliable guidance on both standard and new, alternative approaches with the contribution of nationally and internationally recognized experts in this field. The Editor hopes that the book will be a valuable resource for cardiovascular surgeons and anesthesiologists, interventional cardiologists, perfusionists and other healthcare professionals who are specialized in the treatment of patients with thoracic aorta disease.
