A Request to Cardiac Surgeons in the Era of Cardiovascular Catheter Intervention

Abstract

In recent years, the era of catheter intervention, cardiac surgery has necessitated the construction of a heart team, as the “back shield” of PCI and MICS. In the absence of the Heart Team, no new PCI devices could be provided. The treatment strategy for heart disease must be decided by the heart team. Thus, in hospitals that provide this highly-advanced medical care, construction of a heart team is essential.
