About this book
This book is unique in describing the practical considerations of endoscopic cardiac surgery. It covers this topic from basic concepts such as patient selection to imaging and outlines the different approaches to particular endoscopic cardiac surgical procedures. As there is an increasing acceptance that cardiac surgery needs to be provided to older and sicker patients and more asymptomatic patients, the option of a sternotomy is becoming less appealing. The endoscope has changed the patient pathway in many surgical specialities, but until recently cardiac surgery has been slow to adopt this approach. With improvements in imaging and better imaging technology, there is a steady increase in accepted procedures and trained surgeons offering this approach.
Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery: Tips, Tricks and Traps captures the experience of endoscopic cardiac surgeons from around the world and is a concise yet thorough reference book for those starting a program in this discipline. With over 3 hours of associated video material, it will be an essential primer for the discipline, therefore making it a valuable reference for trainees in cardiac surgery and experienced surgeons wishing to add this approach to their armamentarium.

About the editor
Mr Zacharias is a Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon at the Lancashire Cardiac Centre in Blackpool and past Chairman and current President of the British and Irish society of Minimally invasive cardiac surgeons (BISMICS). He trained in cardiothoracic surgery at James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough, The Royal Brompton Hospital, London and The Freeman Hospital, Newcastle. He did a observership/ fellowship in cardiac surgery at The Cleveland Clinic Ohio, USA, The OLV Clinic, Aalst, Belgium, and St Paul's Hospital, Vancouver, Canada. He was appointed to the consultant post in 2004 and was Clinical Director and Head of department from 2010 to 2015.
His interests lie in developing minimally invasive endoscopic techniques in cardiothoracic surgery. He has successfully developed a programme of minimally invasive mitral valve and tricuspid valve surgery and atrial fibrillation ablation using an Endoscopic approach. Blackpool was one of the first centres to adopt endoscopic conduit harvesting of saphenous vein and radial artery for coronary artery surgery in the UK and has published excellent 10 year results. Since 2015 all isolated aortic valve replacements have been done by a non sternotomy approach (ART/ Endoscopic) and in excess of 150 cases have been completed with excellent outcomes using sutured valves. Mr Zacharias acts as a proctor for minimally invasive surgery and has successfully proctored many surgeons and teams across UK and Europe. He is secretary to the global Endoscopic cardiac Surgeons Club (ECSClub).Bibliographic Information
