Introducing “Transplantation and Mechanical Support for End-Stage Heart and Lung Disease,” the most comprehensive textbook available on the medical and surgical treatment options for patients with advanced heart or lung disease. Authored by leading experts in the field, this textbook covers all facets of complex and resource-intensive therapies necessary to care for these desperately ill patients.

The book begins with a historical overview of heart and lung transplantation and engineering advances in continuous flow technologies. The following chapters cover various topics such as transplant organizations, oversight, structure, process, databases, and registries in the thoracic transplant and MCS field. Current strategies in immune modulation, desensitization protocols, mechanisms of allograft rejection, and tolerance/immunosenescence are also explored in detail.

One of the unique features of this textbook is the emphasis on the detailed descriptions of donor and recipient surgical procedures as well as comprehensive implantation techniques for all available short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support devices, including ECMO. Organ allocation and prioritization, donor evaluation, high-risk donors, marginal donors, and risk assessment are also extensively covered.

The book is enriched with summary tables and color illustrations, which provide an engaging and supportive learning experience, making it an excellent source of contemporary knowledge for medical students, residents, nurses, perfusionists, physicians, and surgeons involved in the care of these desperately ill groups of patients.

The book has been highly praised by prominent experts in the field. Andreas Zuckermann, M.D., Vice-Chair, Department of Cardiac Surgery, and Director of the Cardiac Transplantation Program at the Medical University of Vienna, Vienna General Hospital, stated, “This comprehensive book covers all aspects of advanced heart and lung failure treatment, including shock, short-term and durable mechanical assistance, as well as transplantation. The in-depth information will be welcome by newcomers in the field as well as seasoned veterans.”

Mandeep R. Mehra, MBBS, MSc, FRCP, Executive Director, Center for Advanced Heart Disease, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, said, “This comprehensive tour-de-force compendium covers practical issues of clinical administration, program development, care pathways, ongoing challenges and opportunities in each treatment area as a must go-to reference for guidance in the rapidly evolving fields of mechanical circulatory support and transplantation.”

“This unique textbook authored by key opinion leaders is a refreshing “wind of change” in our field, one that will well serve all professionals involved in the care of end-stage heart and lung patients for many years to come,” said Marcelo Cypel MD, MSc, FACS, FRCSC, Surgical Director Ajmera Transplant Centre at UHN, University of Toronto.

In conclusion, “Transplantation and Mechanical Support for End-Stage Heart and Lung Disease” is an indispensable textbook for anyone involved in the medical and surgical treatment of advanced heart or lung disease. Its comprehensive coverage of complex and resource-intensive therapies necessary for the care of these desperately ill patients, its engaging and supportive learning experience, and glowing reviews from prominent experts make it a must-have reference for medical students, residents, nurses, perfusionists, physicians, and surgeons.
