From the reviews: “This English translation of a Japanese book … is a highly illustrated manual of surgical techniques, old and new, with a considerable emphasis on techniques used at the Fukuoka Children’s Hospital. … As a well-done picture book, this is a delight to almost all. … its real value is for those who are working or studying in the field of cardiac surgery. It also has value for students and residents as a general reference to make clear the more complex reconstructions.” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody’s Review Service, January, 2010)
