Operative Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Surgery

Spanning the topics involved in the current practice of an adult cardiac surgeon, this book offers a step-by-step approach to the peri-operative management and surgical technique specific to each pathological process affecting the mitral and tricuspid valves.

Provides the reader with a step-by-step approach to operative surgery on the mitral and tricuspid valves, in an easily readable format, applicable to everyday surgical practice The data and body of knowledge presented in the book is based on the practice of a recognized international leader in the field, who has been performing and evolving these techniques for over 25 years Provides a case-based approach to describe the management of each disease process of the mitral and tricuspid valves

Provides a step-by-step approach to surgery of the mitral and tricuspid valves applicable to everyday surgical practice Contains pre-operative images and illustrations associated with a variety of pathologies encountered Features a case-based approach to describe the management of each disease process of the mitral and tricuspid valves

Narain Moorjani is a cardiothoracic surgeon providing the full range of cardiac surgical procedures, including coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic valve replacement. He forms part of the specialist valve group, performing complex mitral valve repair surgery, as well as surgery of the thoracic aorta. He also performs procedures to control abnormal heart rhythms, as well as minimally invasive cardiac surgery (including valve surgery through small incisions and coronary surgery without the use of the heart-lung bypass machine). He was the first surgeon to introduce minimally invasive cardiopulmonary bypass to Papworth Hospital.

Narain Moorjani came to Papworth having previously worked as a consultant cardiac surgeon at the Royal Brompton Hospital, London and Assistant Professor in Cardiothoracic Surgery in Philadelphia, USA. Prior to that, he completed a research doctorate of medicine (MD) at the University of Oxford and National Heart and Lung Institute, investigating the genes involved in the development of heart failure. His research interests are currently focussing on the genes responsible for enlargement of the thoracic aorta.

Dr. Bushra S. Rana was appointed as a consultant cardiologist and clinical lead in diagnostic and interventional echocardiography and cardiac testing (non-invasive) at Papworth Hospital in 2009. She is currently the Co-Lead in specialist valve and structural heart disease service and co-chair in the trans-aortic valve implantation (TAVI) programme at Papworth Hospital. She is also an active member of the British Society of Echocardiography (BSE) and a committee member since 2005 and the Chair of Education Committee since 2013. Dr Rana has also developed national training programmes such as the BSE Advanced Imaging Conference, that is held yearly at the Royal society of Medicine, London.

Francis C. Wells is a recognized leader in the field of mitral and tricuspid valve surgery. He lectures on the subject internationally and has published numerous articles on the topic. He initially trained in London and the United States, before moving to Papworth Hospital as a consultant cardiothoracic surgeon in 1986. His specialist area of cardiac surgical interest is the management of all forms of heart valve disease, especially mitral valve reconstruction.

Mr Wells has the largest experience in the United Kingdom and among the largest in the world with over 3,000 cases completed achieving a near 100% repair rate for leaking mitral valves with mortality at less than 1.0% for first time procedures. His aim is to achieve a normally functioning valve. He also has an interest in aortic valve repair and surgery of the aorta. In his thoracic practice, Mr Wells offers a full range of surgical procedures for lung cancer and all benign diseases in the chest. This includes hyperhydrosis, thoracic outlet syndrome and pectus deformities.
