About

NaYoung Yang is a dedicated researcher in the field of cardiac surgery, with a focused interest in optimizing surgical techniques and perioperative care. Her work centers on the internal mammary artery harvesting methods and the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in cardiac procedures. Yang’s major contributions include a comprehensive narrative review on internal mammary artery harvesting, which synthesizes evidence on conduit selection and graft efficiency to improve patient outcomes. Additionally, her investigation into ERAS for cardiac surgery advocates for systematic, evidence-based recovery pathways to reduce complications and accelerate healing. While her citation counts are currently modest (3 citations each), these foundational papers are gaining traction as the field increasingly prioritizes minimally invasive approaches and standardized recovery. Yang’s work is notable for bridging technical surgical innovation with patient-centered care, positioning her as an emerging voice in modern cardiac surgery. Her research holds promise for shaping future guidelines and enhancing surgical safety.
