"… [A] very comprehensive book, characterized by clarity of description, logic of presentation, and attention to detail…Dr. Jonas has significantly expanded on the treatment of some subjects…and has chosen to include several entirely new chapters…on anesthesia, pediatric cardiac intensive care, and pediatric cardiovascular nursing care, in addition to mechanical circulatory support and cardiac transplantation…the e-version of the book includes hyperlinks to a series of narrated operative videos…that are of extremely high quality…Every aspect of the Second Edition builds on the foundation established with the First Edition. No part of it represents a simple "tune-up" of its predecessor." —Marshall Lewis Jacobs, MD, Division of Cardiac Surgery, Johns Hopkins University "While technically a multi-author textbook … it is in reality a product of Dr. Jonas’ own singular experience and his commitment and enormous effort to share his wealth of knowledge, insight, and wisdom with others – all in the interest of helping to optimize the care of patients with congenital heart disease." —CTSNet Praise for the First Edition "This book is a display of superior individual knowledge—virtually encyclopaedic. The most difficult technical procedures are described with accuracy that reflect the skills and talents of a masterful surgeon. Any congenital cardiac surgeon, any surgical trainee interested in congenital cardiac surgery, will consult this book with great pleasure." —Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine "… [A] very comprehensive book, characterized by clarity of description, logic of presentation, and attention to detail…Dr. Jonas has significantly expanded on the treatment of some subjects…and has chosen to include several entirely new chapters…on anesthesia, pediatric cardiac intensive care, and pediatric cardiovascular nursing care, in addition to mechanical circulatory support and cardiac transplantation…the e-version of the book includes hyperlinks to a series of narrated operative videos…that are of extremely high quality…Every aspect of the Second Edition builds on the foundation established with the First Edition.
