Topic: Current States and Future Challenges of Coronary Artery Revascularization

Dear Colleagues, there is growing progress in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. Non-invasive imaging and invasive functional assessment are changing the indications for coronary revascularization in chronic coronary syndrome with the aim of improving patient prognosis while maintaining a low risk of complications and procedural futility. The implementation of networking treatment of acute coronary syndrome results in improved patient outcomes. Third-generation drug-eluting stents, modern pharmacotherapy and growing operator experience have pushed forward the limits of percutaneous interventions while almost completely addressing in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. Despite all these advances, coronary artery disease is still the leading cause of death worldwide, and there is still an unmet need for further investigations and improvements. Vessel Plus invites you to contribute to this Special Issue titled "Current Status and Future Challenges of Coronary Artery Revascularization". The Special Issue is keen to receive original ground-breaking research articles of clinical and scientific value, including observational studies, as well as state-of-the-art reviews focused on medical treatment and percutaneous and surgical coronary revascularization. Articles about non-invasive diagnostics, and unique clinical cases, particularly those supported by cutting-edge imaging or advanced mechanical devices, will also be welcome.
