Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vascular surgery is evolving rapidly, driven by continuous innovation, refined imaging technologies, and the widespread adoption of endovascular and hybrid techniques. Over the past decades, the field has expanded its boundaries, from complex aortic reconstruction to distal limb salvage, achieving remarkable progress in patient safety, procedural precision, and recovery. These advances have reshaped traditional paradigms, yet they also bring new challenges related to durability, reintervention, and equitable access to advanced care.
The aim of this Special Issue, “Current Perspectives and Future Directions in Vascular Surgery”, is to provide a comprehensive overview of recent developments and to highlight future directions that will shape the next generation of vascular care. Topics of interest include innovations in endovascular and open surgery, hybrid approaches, imaging and navigation technologies, perioperative optimization, outcome durability, and the integration of artificial intelligence and personalized medicine.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and expert perspectives that explore cutting-edge techniques, novel devices, and multidisciplinary strategies for improving vascular outcomes. By bringing together diverse expertise, this Special Issue seeks to foster collaboration, stimulate discussion, and inspire innovation across the global vascular community.
