Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of computational models over the last three decades has provided important support for surgical and clinical techniques in the cardiovascular field. The models can be used as predictive and statistical tools to understand the advantages and disadvantages that may arise from the use of assist devices or invasive and minimally invasive surgical procedures. Computational analysis has been used to model the human physiological heart in 3D, not only to mimic natural situations, but also to guide surgeons during high-risk open-heart procedures. Moreover, computational models are relevant from a manufacturing (industry) point of view, as they serve as support for images that are acquired in vivo in order to frame the best follow-up for many patients undergoing valvuloplasty surgery. The aim of our Special Issue would be dedicated to this topic, collecting the best evidence regarding the development of artificial networks, which help predict post-operative risks, thus helping clinicians and surgeons to evaluate clinical and periprocedural decisions, and assessing haemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing ventricular assist devices such as ECMO, extracorporeal circulation or LVAD.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
