Abstract
The swift advances in interventional cardiology combined with the
increasing risk of cardiac surgical procedures resulted in diminishing
volume of coronary and valvular surgery and affected the future of
cardiac surgery service and training. Application to cardiac surgery
training programs have steadily declined. This cross-sectional study
aimed at identifying main weakness facing cardiac surgery and advocating
some recommendations to improve the status of current and future of
cardiac surgery.01 Sep 2021Submitted to Journal of Cardiac Surgery 03 Sep 2021Assigned to Editor
