can be technically daunting, especially without the full access afforded by a traditional ster­notomy, this ITA pedestal offers promise to make anastomotic suturing substantially less difcult. Because we appreciate that suturing a durable and accurate coronary anastomosis with 7-0 or 8­0 suture (even with fully open access) remains one of the most impressive skills in all of modern surgery, we recognised that custom accessories are needed to aid in this remote suturing.
The ped estal gently holds the distal ITA inverted near the arteriotomy; it also incorporates other features for suture management and guiding the needles during suturing. Figure 9 is a close-up
of the pedestal in position adjacent to the target site with anastomotic suture in place in an ex vivo porcine model. The tissue pedestal is connected to a table-mounted arm that allows its well con­trolled and stable positioning immediately adja­cent to the target site within the µT access site. For an end-to-side (e.g., LITA–LAD) anasto­moses, the distal end of the ITA cobra head is rotated *180 degrees within the pedestal to enable anastomotic suturing. Recent research regarding use of the pedestal for sequential arte­rial grafting appears promising (see Fig. 10). The µCAB procedure is intended to enable sternal­sparing all-arterial grafting beyond the single or

5 In Conclusion
Innovative thinking is a requirement for the modern cardiac surgeon. This chapter is intended to be a rallying cry to surgeons regarding the need to innovate for the benet of patients, sur­geons, and society at large. Though signicant strides have been made toward optimising clini­cal outcomes since the early days of cardiac surgery, many long-recognised opportunities for innovation have gone unfullled. While novel technology and techniques will be essential to advancing cardiac surgery, the attitudes and efforts of cardiac surgeons toward innovation will be the driving force to providing a brighter future for their patients.
There are many opportunities for innovation in developing less invasive ways to operate on the heart. Sternotomies and large thoracotomies must go by the wayside in favor of tiny, microinvasive access sites for the benet of patients. While nontraditional, less invasive approaches are often thought of as cumbersome and difficult to accept, enabling technology and facilitating imaging can help optimise the widespread adoption of inno­vations worthy of pursuit by heart surgeons for their patients. Heart surgery must be less trau­matic, less risky, more efcient, and less com­plicated. Collectively, we must strive for a more gentle, patient-centered paradigm.
The demands on the available time of prac­ticing cardiac surgeons are signicant. Innova­tion is often frustrating and draining. The reality of the innovative process is that it is more costly in terms of time, energy, and emotional capital than one might expect . Simple solutions to complex problems are essential, though they are typically the most difcult to develop. We humbly request that heart surgeons remain opti­mistic, keep a keen eye toward the horizon, and maintain an open mind regarding opportunities
for meaningful innovation. New approaches can and will benet your patients and our world. Partnership among clinical faculty and experi­enced industry partners can facilitate this process for the mutual benet of all involved.
Innovation or obsolescence? It is a great time to be a great heart surgeon. Less invasive heart surgery remains substantially behind relative to the progress of other specialties. The availability of innovative technologies that are customised for remote surgery along with excellent endo­scopic imaging can usher in a new golden era of heart surgery. Signicant positive disruption can yield enormous positive impact. However, the renement and utilisation of promising tech­niques requires heart surgeons to command the destiny of their noble eld. Without the insight, enthusiasm, and energy of heart surgeons, this golden opportunity will ultimately fade. Patients have demonstrated their willingness to accept treatments that are potentially inferior in the long term to avoid near-term pain and suffering.
Twenty-five years after a loud plea to advance coronary revascularisation surgery by emphasising less invasive techniques, it still remains unclear whether most heart surgeons will embrace, or even explore, this paradigm.
Great Surgery = Great Outcomes + Great Recovery.
The future of heart surgery is in the hands of todays heart surgeons.

Psychological Context, Individual Differences and Adjustment in Relation to Cardiac Surgery Scars
Kate L. Green
Abstract
Cardiac surgery patients around the world typically undergo a sternotomy approach. Advances in cardiac surgery techniques pre­sents patients with potentially increased choice. Factors that impact on adjustment and recovery post cardiac surgery are increas­ingly generating interest in relation to post-operative outcomes. These include psy­chological context, individual differences and adjustment in relation to cardiac surgery scars. For a proportion of patients subjective percep­tion of appearance difference (i.e. scars) post cardiac surgery will be an important consider­ation. The psychological impact of the intro­duction of non-sternotomy approaches to heart surgery is an emerging eld of research that could help to inform clinical decision making and identify groups of patients who are likely to benet from a minimally invasive cardiac surgery approach.

Working as a Clinical Psychologist within a Cardiac Centre, it has been a privilege to learn about the individual experiences of cardiac patients including those awaiting planned cardiac surgery procedures and emergency admissions which allo ws minimum time, if any, for the patient to prepare for an invasive surgical pro­cedure. The role involves psychological assess­ment, formulation and intervention at each stage of the patients cardiac journey. Throughout clinical work in this eld, the relevance of his­torical factors, individual differences (examples include personal characteristics, coping skills, trauma history, social context, pre/post-operative care and support) have been highlighted as important factors in the process of pre and post adjustment from initially receiving a cardiac diagnosis and treatment sequelae including car­diac surgery.
As health professionals, we are in the unique position of both accessing and delivering health care. The range of presentations I have encoun­tered working in cardiac services and breadth of responses from patients prompted me to consider
my own experience of adjustment after surgery. During adolescence, I was admitted for an urgent appendectomy. Unfortunately the appendix rup­tured into the peritoneum and following an emergency procedure, my primary concern at the time was the size/position of the surgical scar and whether the drain site would ever heal. Postop­eratively and as time elapsed, healing took place and I was able to process what happened. Pre-

occupation with the scar diminished and I was more inclined to think I survived.This cogni­tive shift was part of the adjustment process and it is likely the initial concern about the scar was related to my age and stage of development, the lack of prior experience of surgery and possibly a focus away from the unexpected reminder of mortality having only just commenced an undergraduate degree. On reection, several protective factors including family support and opportunities to vocalise my concerns with individuals who were psychologically aware, assisted my adjustment and enhanced my coping skills to what had been a potentially life­threatening event. More recently, working with patients either preparing for or recovering from cardiac surgery, I have continued to develop a greater understanding about individual differ­ences in factors that inuence rehabilitation and recovery.
I have since becom e awar e that it is not uncommon for people to express increased con­cern about scars on their torso compared to parts of their body that are typically exposed. There is limited understanding about the possible reasons for this but it is plausible to think that scars near areas of the body usually concealed and or associated with an individuals sexual identity could generate increased anxiety and issues relating to body image. Scars on the torso, par­ticularly for women, have been found to have an association with poor adjustment [1]. The strength of relationship between self-rated severity of appearance and associated distress has been documented in relation to skin scarring and evidence suggests no correlations between objective measures (e.g. scar size) and emotional distress [2]. Clinically this has been observed when one patient perceives their sternotomy scar as a positive indicator of survivaland some­thing to share almost like a badge of honour.In contrast, another patient feels repulsed by their sternotomy scar and surrounding keloids which negatively affects intimacy with his/her partner, mood, self-condence and quality of life. Research suggests resilience is an important factor in a persons ability to cope with changes to their appearance and outcome of treatment.
Variance in adjustment to changes in appearance, the potential inuence of physiological, devel­opmental, social and cognitive factors and the relevance of subjective severity of appearan ce difference following cardiac surgery indicates a need for consideration of these in service provi­sion. Meaningful predictors of adjustment could include prior experience of hospitalisation, ill­ness beliefs, length of hospital stay, post cardiac surgery infection, surgical approach and pre/post-operative quality of care.
Focusing on surgical approach, the develop­ment of minimally invasive and endoscopic car­diac surgery techniques (non-sternotomy approaches) presents the possibility of a smaller scar compared to the traditional sternotomy. The option of minimally invasive surgery is routinely considered standard of care in other specialities (examples include general surgery, orthopaedics and lung cancer resection). Current literature, in addition to clinical experience, indicates that subjective perception of visible or non-visible difference in appearance post cardiac surgery could have psychological effects that impact on adjustment. The literature also suggests variance in the prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) of 15–25% in postoperative cardiac patients [3]. Symptoms of PTSD include ashbacks, nightmares, psychological distress and disturbed sleep all of which can signicantly impair function, adjustment and quality of life. A younger age group of cardiac patient appears to also be a vulnerability factor for developing PTSD [4]. This highlights the importance of identifying risk factors through comprehensive assessment that incorporates historical informa­tion and possible higher risk of post-surgical trauma. Subjective perception of the scar and where clinically appropriate, selection of surgical approach that seeks to optimise recovery both from a physical and psychological perspective is also indi cated. It is likely that the reported prevalence of PTSD is among patients who have undergone a sternotomy approach to their cardiac problems. There is emerging evidence that a non­sternotomy, minimal access approach has statis­tically signicant advantages in relation to body image, self-esteem and aesthetic outcomes [5].
