Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery

The Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery section focuses on the dissemination of high-quality research, innovative surgical techniques, and clinical advancements in the field of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery. We aim to provide a platform for surgeons and researchers to share evidence-based findings that enhance patient care and surgical outcomes for disorders of the heart, lungs, esophagus, and vascular system.

Scope

• Cardiac Surgery: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve repair/replacement, heart transplantation, and congenital heart surgery.
• Thoracic Surgery: Lung resection (lobectomy/pneumonectomy), mediastinal surgery, esophageal surgery, and chest wall reconstruction.
• Vascular Surgery: Aneurysm repair (EVAR/TEVAR), carotid endarterectomy, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and venous interventions.
• Innovative Technologies: Robotic-assisted surgery, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and 3D printing in surgical planning.
• Perioperative Care: Critical care management, anesthesia, and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols.
