Modern cardiac surgery: the future of cardiac surgery in Australia [PDF]

ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2017
Cardiac surgery is a relatively young specialty and is undergoing many changes presently. The advent of catheter‐based technology, minimally invasive surgery and better information regarding the roles of cardiac surgery in the management of common cardiac disease is changing the way we provide services. In Australia, attention must be turned to the way
