This clinical casebook is a comprehensive compilation of surgical cases focusing on the most significant cardiovascular diseases. Presented in a concise and easy-to-read format (5x8 in trim size), it aligns with other titles in the Springer clinical medicine program. Each chapter presents a unique clinical scenario, followed by a detailed description of the diagnosis, assessment, and management techniques employed to treat the condition. Additionally, a Q&A section is included, consisting of between 8 and 10 questions and answers related to the diagnosis and treatment of the addressed disease. This Q&A section aims to foster discussion and enhance the pedagogical value of the title.

The casebook is organized into four thematic sections:

Aortic Disease: This section encompasses a range of conditions affecting the aorta, including aortic aneurysms, aortic dissection, and aortic stenosis.

Arrhythmias: This section explores various arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and supraventricular tachycardia, and the treatment strategies employed for their management.

Cardiac Tumors: This section covers the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac tumors, including benign and malignant neoplasms, as well as the role of surgical intervention in their management.

Coronary Insufficiency: This section focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, including percutaneous coronary interventions, coronary artery bypass grafting, and stenting procedures.

Congenital Heart Disease: This section covers congenital heart defects, including ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, and transposition of the great arteries, and the surgical interventions employed to correct these conditions.

Endovascular Therapies: This section explores the use of endovascular techniques, such as angioplasty, stenting, and bypass surgery, in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Heart Failure: This section addresses the diagnosis, management, and surgical interventions for heart failure, including heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support.

Heart Transplantation: This section provides an in-depth overview of heart transplantation, including the selection of donors, surgical procedures, and post-transplant care.

Mechanical Circulatory Support: This section discusses the use of mechanical circulatory support devices, such as ventricular assist devices and left ventricular assist devices, in the treatment of heart failure.

Pericardial Disease: This section focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of pericardial conditions, including pericardial effusion, pericarditis, and cardiac tamponade.

Pulmonary Embolism and Valvular Heart Disease: This section explores the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary embolism and valvular heart disease, including anticoagulation therapy and surgical interventions.

This book is a collaborative effort prepared by the Brazilian Department for Academic Leagues of Cardiovascular Surgery, within the Brazilian Society of Cardiovascular Surgery (BSCVS). The Brazilian Department for Academic Leagues of Cardiovascular Surgery is a section within BSCVS that consists of academic leagues of cardiovascular surgery from universities across the country. These academic leagues are organizations that bring together students, interns, and residents to discuss a specific topic and promote research and teaching-oriented extra-class activities, supervised by a group of professors. As part of this collaboration, trainees will have the opportunity to contribute to the writing of chapters, with senior professor supervisors overseeing and finalizing the work. Essentially, each chapter is authored by an intern or resident, with the guidance and supervision of their respective supervisor.

As the volume editors of this clinical casebook, we are proud to present a resource that will be valuable to cardiothoracic surgeons, residents, and students alike. By presenting a diverse range of surgical cases and providing comprehensive explanations of diagnosis, assessment, and management techniques, this book aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of those involved in cardiovascular surgery. We believe that this casebook will serve as a valuable tool for both educators and practitioners, contributing to the advancement of cardiovascular medicine.
