Vascular Surgery: Recent Developments and Emerging Trends

Dear Colleagues,

Treatment for vascular disease varies depends on the type and severity. Open and endovascular techniques represent the cornerstone of vascular surgery, treating a plethora of diseases in various vascular “beds” or target vessels.

Open surgical repair represents the traditional approach in various vascular territories, while endovascular techniques have caused a dramatic change in vascular surgery over the last years, characterized as “endovascular evolution” due to their rapid introduction, acceptance and development.

Both techniques are equally important in the vascular surgeon’s arsenal; however, considering open vs endovascular procedures, a variety of factors should be reviewed, including but not limited to the disease itself, the patient, the skill and experience of the treating physician, and the urgency of the procedure.       

This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, "Vascular Surgery: Recent Developments and Emerging Trends", offers authors and readers a collection of advances in our field and new insights.

We are pleased to invite and welcome your peer-reviewed manuscripts on advances in vascular and endovascular surgery. We are seeking high-quality papers that will advance the scientific exchange of our knowledge, with the ultimate goal of positively influencing the decision-making process of our patients.
