Carpentier's Reconstructive Valve Surgery

Carpentier’s Reconstructive Valve Surgery presents you with authoritative guidance on reconstructive techniques for
degenerative mitral valve disease. Alain Carpentier, MD, PhD-who pioneered the field-David H. Adams, MD; and Farzan
Filsoufi, MD provide step-by-step instructions for each procedure and over 200 detailed anatomic drawings so that you
can effectively apply the techniques of a master.
