The Annals of Cardiothoracic Surgery invites experts in the field to provide Keynote Lecture PowerPoint Presentations focusing on contemporary topics within the field of cardiothoracic surgery. Each Lecture, together with its accompanying review paper, will allow the reader to place the findings of the scientific research into a practical, real world context, by integrating what a leading expert would recommend based on his/her rich clinical experience. The Keynote Lectures are solicited by the Editor-in-Chief. Unsolicited submissions to Keynote Lecture Series will not be considered.
You are welcome to provide commentary and discuss any of the published Keynote Lectures through the Your Comments section, which will be available for public viewing.
