We have waited for a suitable opportunity. Now, our main interest is to improve Japanese training system for young cardiac surgeons. To create better future of cardiac surgery, we have to “Reconstruct the training system in Japan”. At first, to make many people pay attention to the issue, JAYCS will pull a trigger on the meetings in this summer and winter. Comments How to create a nationwide program regulation system?

Japan Adult Cardiovascular Surgery Database Risk-adjusted Mortality, Items equivalent to STS Database Since 1999

・ Good outcome of Aortic surgery 4707 records were analyzed from 97 hospitals (between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2005). Raw 30-day and 30-day operative mortality rates were 6.7% and 8.6%, respectively. Conclusion:,,,,,,,,the result of this series was excellent. (Circulation. 2008;118[suppl 1]:S153–S159.)

European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery 36 (2009) 517—523

・ Good outcome of Off-pump CABG Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg (2009) 57:488–513 OPCAB (10,979 cases): 63.4% of the total isolated CABG(17,295 cases) Primary elective, 30-day mortality 0.7% Primary emergency, 30-day mortality 4.1% Redo, emergency, 30-day mortality 4.8%

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2004;127: Ann Thorac Surg 2004;78:1304 –11

・ A new device must be introduced over a long time It takes much time to be approved by The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare For example, Commercially available Stent –Graft 1998 Europe 2000 USA 2007 Japan TAG: Gore & Associates, Inc.

1. Adult cardiac surgery 2. Congenital cardiac surgery 3. For all Japanese cardiac surgeons

・ Good outcome of RVOT reconstruction / repair with ePTFE conduit with monocuspid patch Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg (2009) 57:488– day mortality 0.2% RVOTR (337 cases, Neonate 5, Infant 105, 1-17 years 227 ):

Ann Thorac Surg 2000;70:1511– 4 no perioperative death good motion of all cusps no or trivial pulmonary regurgitation

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2007;134: *no mortality, no morbidity*no patients required reoperation during follow-up. *Valve motion was fully maintained in all patients.

Postoperative care in ICU or CCU is mainly the task of cardiac surgeons. Intensivists for post cardiac surgery are definitely rare. Advantage? Disadvantage?
