An Evidence-Based Approach

Third Edition

I am pleased to offer readers Edition 3 of Diffi cult Decisions in Thoracic Surgery . The series was planned to include new editions every 3–4 years, and this volume follows on the heels of two successful prior editions. I am grateful for the positive feedback from many readers who use the information in these books to help guide their clinical practices and for the compliments from educators who found the data and discussions valuable for their trainees.
