Coronary surgery encompasses two thirds of all adult cardiac surgery cases. With the endless pursuit of better outcomes, modern coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become technically more complex in ways that are well beyond the training of the average cardiac surgeon. The old concept of "one-technique-fits-all" has been abandoned in favour of a specialized approach tailored to the individual patient. In fact, in recent years, there is a growing movement towards establishing coronary surgery as a super-specialization of cardiac surgery.
Technical Aspects of Modern Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery aims to expand on both the basics and complexities of the technical aspects of coronary surgery. It serves as an up to date resource that illustrates and details the advancement and techniques in this field which may soon become a separate super-specialty. With a particular emphasis on illustrations, the book will be an essential reference book for both established surgeons that have no experience in advanced CABG, and the new generation of CABG surgeons.

Dr. Mario Gaudino is the Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery and the Director of Clinical and Translational Research at Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine. He is also the Chairman of the Coronary Artery Task Force of the European Association of Cardio-thoracic Surgery. He is the recipient of numerous peer-reviewed grants and is currently leading the Randomized comparison of the clinical outcome of single versus Multiple Arterial grafts (ROMA) trial. He serves on different committees of the American Heart Association, American Association for Thoracic Surgery, and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and has authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications. He is also the Deputy Editor of Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Associate Editor of the European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery and serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Annals of Thoracic Surgery, and Journal of Thoracic Disease. He has authored more than 300 peer-reviewed manuscripts. In his unique position, Dr. Gaudino's has been able to collaborate with an extraordinary group of world class experts to develop the field of coronary artery bypass grafting. All contributors in the book are not only leading authorities in the field, but also part of a very well-organized network that he collaborates with.
