Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an increasingly important clinical problem. Years after its first description, it is now clear that PAD is not a simple complication of other diseases such as diabetes or arterial hypertension, but an independent and relevant cardiovascular risk factor. In addition to its effect on patients, PAD can have a significant impact on healthcare systems as it increases with age and leads to cardiovascular complications. The quality of life and survival rate of patients with PAD are low compared to other patients. Unfortunately, until recently, all available data on designing treatments for patients with PAD were overshadowed by studies conducted in other patient populations and other outcomes. Opportunely, PAD has been the focus of many high-quality studies in recent years, and more useful and valid data are available for the treatment of this severe disease.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect original research studies and literature reviews that will provide a better understanding of PAD and newer treatment strategies.

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. Hearts is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. 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.

Deep vein arterialization (DVA) is a therapeutic option in “no option” for revascularization chronic limb-threatening ischemia patients, creating an arteriovenous bypass between a proximal artery and a distal deep venous target at the ankle. Imaging plays a crucial role in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patient management. We present the case of a 71-year-old PAD patient (Rutherford class 5) with focal gangrene of the first and second toes of the right foot, who was admitted to the vascular surgery department to undergo revascularization surgery by femoro-tibial artery bypass. During surgery a DVA was performed because of an unsatisfactory distal artery target. The post-operative computed tomography angiography showed the saphenous graft patency and opacification of distal foot veins. Subsequent angiography documented the presence of a large venous collateral, responsible for extensive early wash-out to leg venous vessels, which was then embolized. After two months, the patient underwent amputation of the right first and second necrotic toes at the level of the metatarsophalangeal joints. The post-operative course was excellent, with disappearance of pain at rest and good trophism of the surgical wound. Full article
