Interventional Cardiology: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Interventional cardiology has rapidly evolved, offering innovative approaches to diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Recent advances in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), structural heart interventions, and imaging technologies have significantly improved patient outcomes. The integration of artificial intelligence and novel biomaterials is further shaping the future of personalized cardiovascular care. Transcatheter therapies, including transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and mitral valve repair, have expanded treatment options for high-risk patients. In addition, new pharmacological strategies and antithrombotic regimens are continuing to optimize procedural success and long-term safety. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in relation to patient selection, the long-term durability of devices, and managing complex coronary and structural heart disease. This Special Issue will explore the latest developments in interventional cardiology, emerging technologies, and future directions to enhance procedural efficacy and patient-centered care.
