Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aortic valve disease, the focus of this Special Issue, is one of the most common valve disorders as a consequence of the progressive aging of the population worldwide.
In the most cases, the surgery remains the gold standard in the treatment of both aortic valve stenosis and regurgitation. Technological and tissue engineering research has led to development of new prosthesis and devices both for surgery and transcatheter therapies.
In recent years, minimally invasive techniques for aortic valve repair or replacement have shown exciting early and late outcomes.
This Special Issue will focus on innovative research in aortic valve management, based on a custom-made treatment in the clinical practice, paying particular attention to the mechanism and factor involved in the prognosis of these patients, such as early diagnosis with several imaging modalities, the risk stratification, the optimal timing for intervention and the type of procedure to offer.
Thus, I invite colleagues to submit their original research and communications as well as systemic reviews and meta-analyses on the following topics:
Minimally invasive aortic valve surgery;
Trans-catheter aortic valve replacement;
Aortic valve repair techniques;
New tissue valves, especially in younger patients.
Case series and case reports will be only considered if of particular interest.
Dr. Fabrizio Ceresa

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.
