New Technologies for the Treatment of Coronary and Structural Heart Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

There has been significant progress in the field of interventional cardiology from newer devices to newer applications of technology, resulting in improved cardiovascular outcomes. The goal of this Special Issue would be to update the practicing clinician and provide a comprehensive collection of original articles, reviews and editorials.

To this end, we would like to invite state-of-the-art reviews, including reviews of new technology and therapeutics, as well as original research in this area will be considered for inclusion in this issue. Examples include history and evolution of interventional techniques, reviews of specific devices and technologies for coronary artery disease (i.e., stent technology, atherectomy devices, coronary physiology, intracoronary imaging, and robotics), structural heart diseases (i.e., ASD: atrial septal defect; LAAC: left atrial appendage closure; MC: MitraClip; PFO: patent foramen ovale; TAVI: transcatheter aortic valve implantation), advances in the management of challenging coronary anatomy, new biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (Non-coding RNAs, etc.) and interventional techniques in the management of heart failure, peripheral arterial diseases and pulmonary embolism.

This Special Issue aims to present the most recent advances in the field of coronary and structural heart diseases, as well as their implications for future patient care. We look forward to your submissions!

Dr. Alberto Polimeni
Guest Editor
