Innovations in Vascular Medicine: Optimizing Patient Care through Peripheral Interventions

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to outlining the recent advancements in clinical vascular medicine. It focuses on improving the treatment and prognosis of vascular diseases and enhancing quality of life for patients through the use of innovative peripheral interventions, such as minimally invasive procedures and surgeries.

The optimization of the management of and interventions in an individual patient should be tailored to specific clinical scenarios that may be challenging. Whether in patients of advanced age or in young adults, the risk and benefit of intervention, together with post-intervention well-being and outcomes, should be strongly considered.

Therefore, the launching of this Special Issue is a call for submissions focused on current updates and perspectives on non-coronary interventions in all age categories, including very young patients, child-bearing females, very elderly patients, etc.

Observational, review, research, or meta-analysis papers examining patterns of care, outcomes, and comparative effectiveness of percutaneous or surgical interventions are invited. The future of clinical vascular medicine holds promising prospects. Continued research efforts are expected to refine the existing procedures, improve patient outcomes, and minimize risks. Additionally, advancements in interventional devices are being explored to optimize treatment options.

We welcome researchers, clinicians, and experts in this field to contribute their original research articles and reviews. The goal of this Special Issue is to promote knowledge exchange, collaboration, and advance the field towards optimal patient care.

This Special Issue aims to bring together recent research and review articles, particularly focused on the following topics:

• Carotid artery interventions in stable and vulnerable plaque;
• Challenges in the management of chronic and acute limb ischemia in patients with and without diabetes;
• Minimally invasive interventions in very elderly patients;
• Clinical and invasive approaches to manage vascular complications in pregnancy;
• Optimization of care and risk stratification to individualize patient treatment;
• Non-coronary interventions in various subsets of patients;
• Interventions on atherosclerotic lesions and non-atherosclerotic arterial disease, including arterial embolization and inflammatory or congenital vascular disease;
• Arterial complications in heart diseases.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
