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.
