Clinical Strategies in Structural Heart and Cardiothoracic Interventions
This special issue belongs to the section "Cardiology".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in clinical and interventional cardiology, as well as in cardiac surgery, have expanded therapeutic options in structural heart disease. Many patients referred for treatment, due to the complexity of their condition, require a heart-team-based approach to clinical decision-making and interdisciplinary management. This Special Issue aims to highlight high-quality clinical research addressing patient selection, procedural strategies, and real-world outcomes across a broad spectrum of structural heart therapies. We invite researchers to submit original manuscripts that reflect the complexity and multidisciplinary nature of this growing patient population to this Special Issue focusing on contemporary clinical strategies in structural heart and cardiothoracic interventions.
