This article features several renowned surgeons, who are pioneers, advancing the field of cardiothoracic surgery. One of them is my mentor, Dr. Leah Backhus (@leahbackhusmd), a phenomenal surgeon, researcher and educator whom I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from ever since I was a fellow.
