From the reviews: "This textbook concerns an atlas and procedural based review of lung and heart surgery using the endoscope. ... The illustrations are well depicted and photographed making this an ideal reference for thoracic surgeons, residents, CVT Fellows, and students. ... I have no hesitation in recommending this book to all surgeons." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, December, 2013)
