To the Editor:

We very much appreciate Dr Wheatley’s thoughtful response to our editorial [1]. We agree in principle with the issues that he has raised. The real difficulty is in mechanisms to implement new technology in our specialty. It isn’t the purview of the American Board of Thoracic Surgery to require training in new technology. However, the concept is an important one, and one for further discussion at the national level.

We thank Dr Wheatley for his interest in this important issue.
