Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the increasing number of patients with cardiovascular diseases, anesthesiologists and intensivists are confronted with an increasing number of cardiothoracic and vascular procedures. Advances in surgical and endovascular interventions arose from technological development. Similarly, anaesthetic techniques and perioperative patient management have evolved significantly over the last few decades. Both surgical and anaesthetic procedures impact the course of patient management, from prehabilitation to intervention and immediate treatment and rehabilitation. In addition, new strategies in the intensive care are leading to a better recovery.
In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit articles on clinical findings and innovations in cardio-thoracic and vascular anesthesia. We look forward to original research articles and reviews.
