Editorial Reviews

Review

"An account treasured by all of those cardiac surgeons who owe a debt of gratitude to this pioneering surgeon."

"The inclusion of well-executed drawings (mainly watercolour washes supervised by the author and based on his preliminary sketches), with photograph, echocardiographic images and tables leave the reader in no doubt of the surgical steps that are intended."

Five stars, Annals of the RCS, 2011

The book has been jeweled by excellent illustrations. The authors have described the techniques of valve repair in detail. Although there is a little mention about case selection. It seems that authors believe that each valve can be repaired.

To summarize, salute to Dr Carpentier, for creating such a beautiful book and sharing his techniques with the community.

I have read more than half of the book and find it is a really good book. If you are interested in valve repair or starting your service in it and this will be a very good book. Practical, precise and comprehensive. A lot of illustrations making it easy to understand. I will definitely recommend this book. It will be perfect with 5 stars if it comes with DVD showing how the techniques actually been done.
