Abstract

The rapid advancements in medical device technology have significantly transformed the landscape of cardiac surgery worldwide, including in Asia. This paper provides an overview of the latest innovations in medical device technology that have been instrumental in improving patient outcomes and procedures within the realm of cardiac surgery in the Asian region. We discuss the integration of minimally invasive techniques, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in imaging and diagnostics, and the evolution of novel cardiac assist devices and stents. Additionally, we delve into the adoption and adaptation of these technologies to meet the specific healthcare challenges and needs of Asian populations, emphasizing the importance of cultural considerations and economic factors. The paper highlights several notable studies and clinical trials that have demonstrated the efficacy of these innovations, and it offers insights into the future directions of medical device technology in cardiac surgery within the Asian context.
