About

Dr. Wing‐Yan Wong has established herself as a leading authority in the field of cardiothoracic surgery, with a primary focus on coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and the optimization of internal mammary artery (IMA) harvesting techniques. Her most cited work, "Internal mammary harvesting: Techniques and evidence from the literature" (2020), has garnered 17 citations, reflecting its significant impact on surgical practice. In this seminal paper, Dr. Wong systematically evaluates the evidence behind various IMA harvesting methods, demonstrating that CABG using the IMA remains the gold standard intervention for multivessel coronary artery disease. Her comprehensive analysis has helped clarify best practices for surgeons, directly influencing operative outcomes and patient recovery. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Wong’s research portfolio consistently addresses critical questions in cardiac surgery, from graft patency to perioperative management. Her work is distinguished by its rigorous synthesis of clinical evidence and practical applicability, making her a trusted voice for both trainees and experienced surgeons. Dr. Wong’s contributions continue to shape the evolution of myocardial revascularization, ensuring that surgical techniques keep pace with the highest standards of care.
