Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “State-of-the-Art in Cardiac Surgery: Progress, Challenges and Opportunities”, dedicated to the latest advancements in cardiac surgery. As our field continues to evolve, innovative techniques, emerging technologies, and improved treatment strategies are reshaping the standards of patient care.
The goal of this Special Issue is to highlight groundbreaking progress, address current challenges, and explore future directions in cardiac surgery. We particularly encourage submissions focusing on minimally invasive techniques, aortic surgery, advanced neuroprotection strategies, perfusion technologies, and state-of-the-art strategies in coronary artery bypass grafting.
We welcome original research articles and literature reviews that will contribute to shaping the future of cardiac surgery and inspire the next generation of surgeons.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
