New Insights into Cardiothoracic Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to be part of this Special Issue which will focus on fresh and innovative approaches to the core conditions treated by contemporary cardiothoracic surgeons. Lung cancer remains without doubt the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, and coronary artery disease is still the number one killer in the developed world. Although the foundations for the surgical treatment of coronary artery disease and lung cancer have not fundamentally changed in decades, newer perspectives may aid in our understanding of these conditions and the impacts of therapy. We are seeking manuscript submissions that provide a “new view” to these “old problems”, highlighting novel considerations for coronary artery bypass and lung cancer resection. In this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, “New Insights into Cardiothoracic Surgery”, we plan to present works for a broad audience. Rather than focusing exclusively on surgical techniques, it is our goal to help bridge the gap between medical and surgical therapies, and provide a method that will improve our collective understanding of these enduring yet challenging diseases.
