Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Interventional cardiology has made remarkable advances over the past 50 years, expanding its scope from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to endovascular therapy for structural heart diseases, acute and chronic aortic diseases, lower extremity artery diseases and other vascular sites. However, in the era of aging populations with multiple comorbidities, high frailty, prior procedure sequelaes, and/or complex anatomies, clinicians face significant challenges that require innovative solutions during catheter-based therapies. These challenges may involve stentless PCI, chronic total occlusions, heavily calcified lesions, chronic limb threatening ischemia, extremity vessel instent restenosis, endovascular therapy for pulmonary thromboembolism, transcatheter aortic valve replacement for special anatomies and edge-to-edge repair or other endovascular therapies for valvular heart diseases. This Special Issue will introduce cutting-edge research for innovative devices, techniques and diagnostic/therapeutic strategies to solve these challenges in the field of Interventional Cardiology and discuss their impacts on clinical outcomes. Therefore, we invite researchers from across the world to submit and share their latest clinical research tackling these challenges.

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 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.

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.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
