Abstract：
:Today's successes would not be possible without the foundation of yesterday's practitioners and patients. This article assists in the exploration of cardiac surgery procedures, provides a brief historical review of the significant changes in cardiothoracic surgery, and provides an overview of current and future methods of treatment for coronary revascularization and heart failure. It is difficult for one article to encompass all aspects of cardiothoracic surgery. This article highlights many of the transforming moments that have led us to where we are today and explores the current trends of cardiac surgery and possibilities for tomorrow.
