European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery/Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery--reach out for the next decade!

摘要

The Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery/Interactive Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery (EJCTS/ICVTS) can be appointed for a maximum of two terms of 5 years each. The former Editor-in-Chief, Ludwig von Segesser, has served these two terms and I am proud to be chosen as the new Editor-in-Chief of these prestigious journals (Photo 1). This change in the incumbent of the post of Editor-in-Chief every 5 or 10 years allows new ideas to be implemented and the further development of the already very successful story of EJCTS and ICVTS.
