Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past three decades, cardiac surgery has witnessed a dynamic and profound transformation, marked by the continuous refinement of techniques aiming to reduce operative trauma without compromising surgical efficacy. Minimally invasive strategies, once regarded as experimental adjuncts, have evolved into established pillars of modern cardiovascular therapy. Pioneering efforts in limited-access cardiac interventions, alongside advances in imaging, instrumentation, and robotic assistance, have redefined surgical standards, ushering in a new era of precision, safety, and patient-centered care. The historical trajectory of this evolution highlights an unwavering commitment to innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and enhanced postoperative outcomes.
This Special Issue, entitled "Advances in Cardiac Surgery: Techniques, Outcomes, and Innovation", seeks to curate a collection of high-impact manuscripts that advance our current understanding and clinical application of minimally invasive cardiac interventions, as well as innovations in classical cardiac surgery. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Novel surgical techniques and protocols for valve repair and replacement, coronary artery bypass grafting, and congenital cardiac anomalies;
- Robotic, hybrid, and endovascular approaches that bridge the gap between surgical and percutaneous therapies;
- Innovations in intra- or perioperative imaging, 3D modeling, artificial intelligence applications, and enhanced recovery protocols;
- Anesthetic and perioperative strategies tailored to the needs of minimally invasive cardiac procedures;
- The novel techniques employed in cardiac surgery.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to stimulate scholarly exchange, promote interdisciplinary innovation, and chart new directions in the field of cardiac surgery.
