Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aortic surgery stands at a pivotal crossroads where time-tested open techniques meet rapidly evolving endovascular and hybrid innovations.
This Special Issue seeks to illuminate the evolving landscape of aortic surgery by bridging its historical foundations with the latest technological and clinical advances shaping its future.
From the pioneering open procedures that established the foundation of modern aortic surgery to minimally invasive and hybrid strategies, the field continues to evolve rapidly. Advances in imaging, perfusion strategies, cerebral protection, perioperative care, and the development of novel biomaterials are further broadening the spectrum of therapeutic possibilities.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for original research, reviews, and perspectives that highlight both historical milestones and current innovations, with the goal of fostering a comprehensive understanding of the past, present, and future of aortic surgery. By integrating tradition with cutting-edge innovation, it will offer readers a unique opportunity to reflect on landmark achievements, engage with state-of-the-art progress, and explore forward-looking concepts that will shape future standards of care.
We warmly invite contributions from experts in surgery, cardiology, anesthesiology, radiology, and biomedical sciences to enrich this multidisciplinary discourse.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease.
