This news magnifies the cardiovascular surgeons, as with other recent achievements of the previous board, brings the cardiovascular surgeon and the Brazilian Society of Cardiovascular Surgery to level we have always craved and deserved.

However, these achievements are not the end of a goal, in fact, they are just the beginning that will make us grow even more.

Dr Braile and all the directors, congratulations to all of you.

Dear Professor. Dr. Domingo Marcolino Braile,

During the 3rd Scientific Meeting of the World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery, which occurred between 23rd and 26th of June, 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey, we were surprised with the presentation of Dr. Liu Jinfen, Shanghai, China.

Dr. Liu is an associate editor of the World Journal for Pediatric & Congenital Heart Surgery, which is the official journal of the World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery.

The theme of the lesson was Extracardiac Fontan with Direct Cavopulmonary Connections, when we realized that the surgery was projecting several figures and stating that it was a work published in a journal in Brazil.

At that time, we were surprised and proud as we are not accustomed to seeing the national scientific production published in our journals, being used as references and with much exposure.

The work which Dr. Liu was referring to was Alternative to an Extracardiac Fontan-type Operation: direct anastomosis between pulmonary trunk and inferior vena cava, published in the Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery in 2008, issue 23(3), pages 439-441 [1,2]. (http://www.rbccv.org.br/article/1396/Alternativa_para_operacao_tipo_Fontan_extracardiaco__anastomose_direta_entre_ o_tronco_pulmonar_ e_a_veia_cava_inferior).

I understand that this is a clear example and a message to all of us Brazilian cardiovascular surgeons that our journal is of enormous value, and it is definitely globalized and it is being seen by literally everyone. The impact factor of 0.963 that we have achieved should be a further stimulus for value and priority in our future publications.

Congratulations to RBCCV.
