Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last decade, our field has undergone a remarkable transformation driven by innovations in imaging, device technologies, computational modeling, and minimally invasive therapies. These developments are reshaping the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape across both arterial and venous diseases.
In arterial pathology, endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) continues to evolve, with fenestrated and branched techniques (FEVAR/BEVAR) expanding treatment options for complex juxtarenal and thoracoabdominal aneurysms. Emerging thoracoabdominal branch endoprostheses and personalized modeling now promise improved procedural planning and long-term outcomes. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are refining patient selection and perioperative care.
Parallel advances in venous disease management are equally noteworthy. Catheter-directed thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, and next-generation venous stents are revolutionizing the treatment of deep venous thrombosis and chronic venous obstruction, with growing evidence supporting early intervention to prevent post-thrombotic syndrome.
This Special Issue will bring together leading experts to share cutting-edge research, highlight emerging interventional strategies, and address ongoing challenges. It is our hope that these contributions will inspire continued innovation and collaboration to shape the future of vascular 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. Medicina 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 2200 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.
