Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Intracoronary imaging and coronary physiology techniques allow for a tailored diagnosis (distinguishing between fixed coronary stenosis, vasospasm, microcirculatory dysfunction, coronary dissection, and plaque rupture and erosion). Furthermore, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the most widely used myocardial revascularization technique, has undergone numerous advances thanks to the introduction of intracoronary imaging, drug-coated balloons, and bioresorbable scaffolds (BRSs). Moreover, coronary bifurcations represent a challenge for the interventional cardiologist and are associated with a higher failure rate.
This topic will cover the following important aspects of coronary artery disease diagnosis and treatment:
- Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions;
- Intracoronary imaging (intravascular ultrasound (IVUS); optical coherence tomography (OCT));
- Coronary physiology techniques;
- Drug-coated balloons;
- Bioresorbable scaffold (BRS).
Research articles, review articles, and communications are invited.

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. Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease 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.
