Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aortic disease encompasses a broad spectrum of conditions ranging from genetic syndromes and degenerative aneurysms to acute aortic syndromes. These disorders remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with their incidence expected to rise due to aging populations and improved detection. The complexity of aortic pathology requires a comprehensive understanding of its underlying mechanisms, which range from molecular and biomechanical processes to systemic risk factors. Advances in imaging, genetics, and computational modeling are reshaping our knowledge of disease progression, while surgical and endovascular innovations have significantly expanded treatment options. However, challenges remain in defining the optimal timing of intervention, tailoring therapy to individual patients, and improving long-term outcomes.
In this Special Issue, we will explore the full continuum of aortic disease, ranging from pathophysiological insights to cutting-edge surgical strategies and robust long-term follow-up data. We welcome contributions on basic and translational research, novel diagnostic approaches, innovations in open and endovascular repair, perioperative management, and outcome prediction. Studies addressing registry data, multicenter collaborations, or multidisciplinary perspectives are particularly encouraged.

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.
