Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac surgery has changed with increasing speed since the introduction of TAVI and TEER techniques. The field has become minimally invasive but more complex and challenging. The “heart team”, which started in the TAVI field, has extended to all fields of cardiac surgery and cardiology. These two disciplines have never been as close as they are now. In particular, minimally invasive cardiac surgery has been a major issue over the last few years.
While some surgical fields have decreased in number, congenital heart disease (CHD) and heart failure (HF) surgery—especially mechanical circulatory support (MCS)—have been on the rise over the last few years. With new techniques and technology, both areas of cardiac surgery continue to grow.
Aortic surgery, another large field in cardiac surgery, has gone through a lot of paradigm changes in recent years.
We welcome submissions in all fields of cardiac surgery, which will go through the peer reviewing process.
Dr. Mehmet Oezkur
