Textbook of Transplantation and Mechanical Support for End-Stage Heart and Lung Disease
Comprehensive textbook covering all aspects of the care of patients with advanced heart or lung disease
Transplantation and Mechanical Support for End-Stage Heart and Lung Disease is the most comprehensive and contemporary textbook available that addresses the medical and surgical treatment options for patients with end-stage heart and lung disease. All facets of these complex and resource-intensive therapies are covered by leading experts — including the basics of transplant immunology, databases, regulatory and ethical aspects of transplantation and conventional and new modalities of donor organ harvest.
Transplantation and Mechanical Support for End-Stage Heart and Lung Disease includes further information on topics such as:

Historical developments that facilitated heart and lung transplantation; engineering advances in continuous flow technologies
Transplant organizations, oversight, structure, process, databases and registries in the thoracic transplants and MCS field
Current strategies in immune modulation, desensitization protocols and mechanisms of allograft rejection and tolerance/immunosenescence
Detailed descriptions of donor and recipient surgical procedures as well as comprehensive implantation techniques for all available short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support devices, including ECMO
