Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Current and Emerging Treatment Options for Aortic Aneurysms," aims to highlight the latest advances and ongoing challenges in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of aortic aneurysms and related cardiovascular pathologies. As treatment paradigms evolve, the field faces critical questions surrounding patient selection, risk stratification, long-term outcomes, and the integration of novel technologies. While endovascular and surgical strategies remain central, emerging approaches—such as artificial intelligence in vascular diagnostics, personalized medicine, and hybrid techniques—are shaping the future of care. We welcome contributions addressing thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, aortic root diseases, ventricular aneurysms, and aortic dissections, as well as manuscripts exploring intersections with cardiac surgery, cardiology, and biomedical engineering. The scope of this Special Issue is intentionally broad to encourage interdisciplinary dialog and mobilize experts across fields, including vascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, radiology, and computational medicine. By bringing together cutting-edge research and expert perspectives, this issue seeks to inform clinical practice and catalyze innovation in the management of complex aortic and related cardiovascular conditions.
