This second edition of the volume reflects the major developments that have taken place in the field of thoracic organ transplantation and replacement. With the exception of the historical chapters, every chapter has been extensively rewritten and updated and many new chapters have been added. The rapid growth of single and bilateral lung transplantation and the increasing use of left ventricular assist devices for long-term support are reflected in the text. Considerable emphasis has been placed on the current experimental and clinical developments taking place in both transplantation and mechanical replacement of organs, thus providing a preview of the clinical advances that are anticipated within the next few years. The volume contains 90 chapters that are grouped into four main areas: (i) general considerations of thoracic organ transplantation, (ii) heart transplantation, (iii) lung and heart-lung transplantation, and (iv) current and future advances in thoracic organ replacement.

'Few books become 'the reference' textbook in their first edition. David Cooper has brought together the wealth of experience of the leading authorities in Cardiothoracic transplantation medicine and in this second edition he consolidates this. This is a comprehensive and readable review of the 'state of the art' ... For the cardiovascular surgeons it is a textbook worth dipping into ... excellent reviews on operative technique and post-operative management .. Technophiles will find the last section on current and future advanced in thoracic organ replacement a delight ... the book is an excellent review ... ' Ulster Medical Journal, 67:1 (1998)
