From the reviews:
„This superb book offers what it says on the cover: an evidence base from which to approach difficult decisions ...“ (The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007)
„This is a critical review of the most recent literature on common problems in thoracic surgery. … The book achieves its objective of providing the best evidence surrounding common problems in general thoracic surgery. … aimed at practicing thoracic surgeons, the book is also highly recommended for residents in cardiothoracic surgery for daily reference and preparation for the board examination. … In short, this is highly recommended to all with an interest in the field of thoracic surgery.“ (Varun Puri, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2008)
This book describes the recommended ideal approach, rather than customary care, in selected clinical situations. Brief chapters are devoted to a specific question or decision in general thoracic surgery that is difficult or controversial. The chapters contain both evidence-based recommendations and descriptions of surgeons’ personal practices. Chapters are organized around clearly identified recommendations, making possible the identification of useful material at a glance. Over 50 different topics are presented. This book is a valuable reference source for practicing surgeons, surgeons in training, and educators.
