As intervention cardiology expanding do you think adult cariac surgery is fading out ?
To be frank, surgeons will have to adapt to the changing Medical need in the field of cardiovascular disease. Over Time with the rise of minimal invasive approaches for Not only complex coronary interventions (CHIP) But also Struktural interventions they can either adapt or Decrease their workload. Certainly as machines like LVAD ans TAH are on the rise I do not See them fade away in near Future.
I don't think that it is fading away. Still there are total occlusions and lesions that cannot be stunted that require to undergo CABG. I think that CT surgery needs to adapt with using new and noninva procedures. For example TAVR is a great example of such chanhes
The open operative modalities are decreasing.
There will, over time be more interventional endovascular procedures, and less invasive procedures, as has already happened with open vascular surgery.
New technology, we hope in most cases, leads to developments that improve outcomes, facilitate recovery and reduce physiological impact on the patient.
Agree with the above author's comments.
Procedures left for the cardiac surgeon in the next decade:
1-CABG for small CAD , cardiogenic shock
2-stuck mechanical valves ? thrombus or nidus
3- prosthetic valve endocarditis
4- ascending with or without arch dissection
5- cardiac trauma
6- cardiac tumors
