Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiothoracic surgery has been a revolutionary field since the very beginning. Developing and refining techniques to reduce mortality and morbidity, along with creating the best evidence-based treatment plan for each patient, is crucial. Interventions such as robotic cardiac surgery, minimally invasive surgery, thoracoscopy-based access, transcatheter valve replacements, closed-chest coronary artery bypass grafting and other innovative strategies will reduce complications.

This Special Issue focuses on the advances and innovations in new devices, procedures, and disease management, which have been the hallmark of cardiothoracic surgery. We invite you to submit original research, clinical studies, systematic reviews, state-of-the-art reviews, or other submissions related to these and other advances in cardiothoracic surgery.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Personalized surgery is not just a new trend but rather a patient-specific approach to therapy that makes it possible to adopt a targeted approach for a specific patient and closely mirrors the approach of personalized medicine. However, the application of tailored surgery in the context of cardiovascular replacement surgery has not been systematically reviewed. The ability to customize a device is highly dependent on the collection of radiological image data for precise prosthesis modeling. These facts are essential to “tailor-made” device design for precise prosthesis implantation. According to this study, computed tomography (CT) was the most prominent imaging modality; however, transesophageal echocardiography and echocardiography were also found to be helpful. Additionally, a dynamic finite element simulation was also found to be an attractive alternative to the finite element analysis for an in-silico experiment. Nonetheless, there is a paucity of relevant publications and only sporadic evidence. More clinical studies have been warranted, notwithstanding that the derived data and results from this insight into the use of therapeutic interventions may be evidence of multiple directives in clinical practices and beyond. This study may help the integration of personalized devices for better comprehension of predicted clinical outcomes, thus leading towards enhanced performance gains. Full article
