Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to participate in this Special Issue of JCM, titled “Aortic Valve Disease: Current Evolution and Future Opportunities”. As you well know, congenital anomalies of the aortic valve frequently necessitate intervention in childhood. The most common aortic valve pathologies are aortic stenosis and insufficiency, and presentation of aortic valve disease depends on severity and presence of concomitant syndromes and valvular disorders. Treatment options are largely categorized as medical, percutaneous repair or surgical repair, and replacement. This Special Issue will focus on the latest research, treatment strategies, and clinical insights related to aortic valve disorders in children, an area in which you have made significant contributions.
Given your expertise in pediatric cardiology and your extensive work on valvular heart diseases, we believe your perspective would greatly enhance the quality and depth of this Special Issue. We are seeking articles on a range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Congenital aortic valve diseases (e.g., bicuspid aortic valve and unicuspid valve);
- Early diagnosis and imaging techniques;
- Surgical and interventional approaches (e.g., balloon valvuloplasty and valve repair/replacement);
- Emerging research and novel therapies for pediatric aortic valve conditions.
We look forward to receiving your submissions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Gianluigi Perri
Guest Editor
