Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent years have been marked by a high and consistent capacity for innovation and diversification of health care technologies, bringing positive results for health and quality of life, but, at the same time, contributing significantly to increasing health care costs.
However, the introduction of innovative technologies makes it possible to maintain the high quality of services and care by ensuring potential benefits to all.
Currently, the treatment of valvulopathies has shifted toward more minimally invasive surgical and endovascular techniques that make patient recovery faster, thus reducing health care costs.
The proposed collection "Current Treatment and Future Options" will include a selection of research papers by experts in the field of minimally invasive cardiac surgery on valvulopathies, detailing various aspects for basic, clinical and translational research that can be applied to the diagnosis and treatment of various valvulopathies. The collection is aimed to be a concise but comprehensive work that will help surgeons in training as well as experienced practitioners in their daily practice, providing up-to-date evidence on the topic of diagnosis and management of valvulopathies.
