Declining or Waning
- Traditional Open-Heart Surgery:
As minimally invasive and robotic techniques gain acceptance and popularity, traditional open-heart surgery topics are less frequently highlighted in recent publications, indicating a shift towards less invasive approaches. - Long-Term Follow-Up Studies:
There appears to be a reduction in studies focusing exclusively on long-term follow-up outcomes following cardiac surgeries, possibly due to a growing emphasis on immediate postoperative results and short-term recovery metrics. - Surgical Techniques for Pediatric Patients:
Research specifically targeting pediatric cardiac surgery has diminished, possibly due to a concentration on adult cases and the increasing complexity of congenital heart disease management. - Outcomes of Specific Surgical Procedures:
There has been a decrease in the publication of studies solely analyzing the outcomes of specific surgical procedures, as the journal increasingly integrates discussions of multidisciplinary approaches and comprehensive management strategies.
