Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a common and serious clinical condition and a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Since Virchow’s early description of the mechanisms of thrombosis, important progress has been made in understanding VTE as a multifactorial disease driven by genetic predisposition, acquired risk factors, and alterations in coagulation and vascular biology. Despite these advances, VTE remains frequently underdiagnosed and is associated with significant acute and long-term complications.
The primary aim of this Special Issue is to provide a rigorous and comprehensive overview of contemporary approaches to the diagnosis, management, and treatment of VTE. This collection seeks to critically appraise current evidence, address ongoing controversies, and highlight areas requiring further investigation by integrating insights from basic, translational, and clinical research.
This Special Issue places particular emphasis on cutting-edge research, including advances in diagnostic algorithms, imaging modalities, biomarkers, and risk stratification strategies, as well as evolving anticoagulant therapies and interventional techniques. Emerging concepts such as immunothrombosis, personalized thromboprophylaxis, and the application of real-world data and artificial intelligence are also within its scope.
We invite submissions of original research articles, systematic and narrative reviews, meta-analyses, and consensus or position papers addressing all aspects of VTE. Contributions focusing on special populations, real-world clinical practice, long-term outcomes, and innovative methodological approaches are particularly encouraged.
