What a two-year FNB fellow in Paediatric Cardio Thoracic and Vascular Surgery reads, and what each title is for.
Surgery for congenital heart disease, neonatal cardiac repair and paediatric cardiac intensive care.
Mavroudis and Backer and Jonas are the two operative texts fellows read the night before a case, and most units keep both because they differ on technique for the same lesion. Kirklin/Barratt-Boyes is the reference for morphology, physiology and long-term results, and is what gets quoted in seminars and journal club. Critical Heart Disease in Infants and Children covers the post-operative intensive care half of the job, which in Indian units is a large part of what the fellow actually does. Moss and Adams and Anderson's supply the cardiology background needed to argue a case at the joint cardiology-surgery meeting.
Titles are tagged core reading — the ones fellows finish — or reference, the ones they look things up in. Editions are given where the current edition is what you want to buy.
