do not waste your money  1 Stars
September 18, 2003
I don't really agree with the previous review. This book has a massive ammount of informations which the resident-surgeon has no time to grasp. Cardiac Surgery is a waste field which cannot be summarize in a single book. My advice is to :1-Study VERY GOOD cardiology (Braunwald or Hurst).2-Study ICU3-Learn french and buy Techniche Chirurgicale from the master surgeons of Paris. (I'm sorry for american surgeons, but the best books for surgical techinque reside in France).Cheers

Definitive Text of Cardiac Surgery - the "Gold Standard" 5 Stars
September 05, 2003
This text goes beyond all other texts of cardiac surgery in the breadth & depth of information provided - both on background principles as well as clinical & operative fundamentals. While it may not be the best starting point to begin with when training in cardiac surgery (due to the sheer volume of information presented, especially on congenital heart lesions), it is invaluable as a reference at any stage of one's career as a cardiothoracic surgeon or cardiothoracic surgical aspirant. I appreciate this book even more post-fellowship than beforehand. It's consistent layout combined with superb clinical & operative information & illustrations make it the "gold standard". I can't recommend this book more highly!
