Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2019, The Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease (JCDD) began a series of Special Issues entitled “Leaders in Cardiovascular Research”, which aims to present the work of unique academics that have had a major impact in cardiovascular field and changed practise.
This Special Issue is dedicated to Professor Patrick Washington Serruys, an established researcher and academic who has shaped, and continues to shape, the field of interventional cardiology. For more than 50 years, Professor Serruys has been at the frontline of cardiovascular research. He played a pivotal role in the evolution of coronary stents and the advancement and adaptation of intravascular imaging technologies into routine clinical practise. He has contributed to the development and optimization of percutaneous therapies for valvular heart diseases and has conducted pivotal studies that have changed practise and improved outcomes in patients with coronary artery and valvular heart disease. In parallel, he has been a committed teacher who has supervised more than 100 PhD students, in this way, shaping future research in the field.
This commemorative Special Issue aims to include commissioned scientific papers and reviews on topics to which Professor Serruys has made substantial contributions. Academics that have similar research interests are welcome to contribute and are encouraged to contact the Guest Editors of this issue.
Prof. Dr. Christos V. Bourantas
