<p>Shruti Jayakumar of St George’s University Hospital in
London, UK, interviews Martin Elliott of the Great Ormond Street Hospital for
Children in London and John McKenna of Edinburgh, UK, about the changes in
cardiac surgery that have been most interesting and impactful during the course
of their respective careers. They discuss the changes in the relationship
between surgeons and industry, emphasizing the importance of creative spirit
and the critical need for data transparency. They also highlight two
innovations that they feel have profoundly changed cardiac surgery: advances in
imaging, and the internet. Finally, Mr Elliott and Mr McKenna both discuss the
people who have been inspirational to them in their careers.</p>
