Change In Advisory Editorial Board
John A. Waldhausen, MD
After three and one-half superb years, Nicholas T. Kouchoukos has asked to be relieved of his duties as Associate Editor in view of his increasing duties as Vice President and President-Elect of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. It is with great regret that I accept his resignation; he has been an invaluable member of the editorial team for both his fairness and wisdom in the editorial process. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons surely is fortunate to have a person with these attributes, and we at the Journal wish Dr. Kouchoukos well in his new venture.
I have asked D. Craig Miller to become the Associate Editor for Acquired Cardiovascular Surgery and he has accepted. Dr. Miller will bring to the Journal an in-depth knowledge of this important area of cardiovascular surgery and will continue in the editorial role of his predecessor. We are delighted to have him join us.
