New Insights into Cardiovascular and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiac surgery, on the one hand, has reached very respectable standards in established fields like coronary artery bypass grafting and valve surgery, while other fields, like aortic arch surgery, do profit from dynamic changes. Overall, cardiac surgery continues to offer very sustainable therapies to patients, which represents its most significant advantage over interventional therapies.

On the other hand, the further development of the Heart Team has led to very precise definitions of the most suitable therapy for individual patients.

We encourage our colleagues to contribute to this Special Issue, which is meant as a platform for displaying the latest developments and established strategies in cardiac surgery.
