The number of cardiovascular surgery cases is increasing year by year.
We are able to maintain the number of cases because of referrals from outside the hospital. At the same time as reforming the hospital, we still have to make continuous efforts to increase referrals from outside the hospital.
The best way to increase the number of referrals is to promote minimally invasive surgical procedures that benefit patients and that are not yet performed by other cardiovascular surgeons. To this end, I’ve been a pioneer in minimally invasive cardiac surgery and actively disseminates its results at conferences, research meetings, lectures, websites and blogs.
