Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the most common type of coronary revascularization being at the frontline for more than four decades. Significant advances have been achieved during the journey of PCI. Third-generation stent platforms have reduced stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. Eyeball lesion estimation is substituted by physiology indices (i.e., FFR, iFR, etc.) and intravascular imaging, which has made PCI more precise, leading to improved outcomes. The radial artery has become the gold standard for access-reducing bleeding events and, more importantly, mortality in the setting of ACS. New, sophisticated techniques and adjunctive devices used during contemporary chronic total occlusion PCI have made percutaneous recanalization safe and feasible in patients that otherwise would have only been candidates for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Newer devices such as intravascular lithotripsy and orbital atherectomy have led to the more effective and safer modification of calcified lesions. Advances in mechanical circulation devices support the performance of PCI in the most complex subsets of coronary artery disease even in hemodynamically unstable patients.
In this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of original clinical research and review articles aiming to describe and discuss the practices of contemporary state-of-the-art percutaneous coronary interventions.

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. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
