Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

By investing in technological innovations in cardiac surgery and intervntional therapy we can improve the quality of life for patient suffering from CHD. The objectives of this Special Issue are to review the current landscape of technological innovations in cardiac surgery and cardiac interventions in pediatric and adult CHD patients. By analyzing the current state we will identify gaps and areas where further innovation is needed. This will help us to focus on developing solutions that adress the unmet needs of patients with CHD. 

We aim to drive forward these innovations and contribute to a better outcome for individuals living with CHD.

Prof. Dr. Martin Schweiger
Guest Editor
