ABSTRACT
Cardiothoracic surgeons are uniquely and expertly positioned to be innovators. Innovation is an iterative process by which unmet needs are identified, a solution is invented, and the results are implemented. A team approach is required, with participation from a variety of experts including the surgeon-innovator. Innovation can be practiced on a multitude of pathways including basic science, clinical science, and commercialization. Economics realities are often the ultimate determinant in the success or failure of any innovative effort. In this manuscript, we aim to define innovation, describe the innovative process, and demonstrate how these principles can, and should, be enacted by cardiothoracic surgeon-innovators.
