Cardiac surgery in chronic renal failure

This is an invaluable reference source for physicians and other health care professionals managing patients with renal failure and significant heart disease. Chronic renal failure patients represent a specific patient group, almost all of whom go on to develop coronary artery disease and often valvular problems too. Unfortunately, this same group is at increased risk when it comes to surgical or percutaneous intervention and many physicians struggle with patient management issues. This text provides an excellent summary of the current technology and treatment plans for these patients that can optimize their long-term outcomes.
