Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the current era, technological advancements in both hardware and software are progressing rapidly, not only in the medical field but also in engineering. Over the past few decades, precision medicine, artificial intelligence, and genetic analysis have emerged as transformative forces in healthcare. Now, we will explore how these innovations can be applied to cardiothoracic surgery and shape future developments in the field.
For this Special Issue, we invite original research and reviews on emerging challenges and advancements in materials or devices, personalized diagnosis and care, and AI-driven applications in cardiothoracic surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve surgery, and aortic procedures. We will expand knowledge, enhance surgical outcomes, and improve patient safety.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
