Defining the cardiac surgical learning curve: a longitudinal cumulative analysis of a surgeon’s experience and performance monitoring in the first decade of practice by Shantel Chang, Ian Smith, Christopher Cole

“…While many studies investigate procedure-specific learning curves, very few carried out a longitudinal analysis of individual cardiac surgeons over the course of their career. Given the evolving landscape of cardiac surgery with the introduction of transcatheter and robotic procedures, a contemporary evaluation of the cardiac surgical learning curve is justified and a method of personal performance monitoring is proposed in this study. …”
