Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has been over 20 years since the late Dr. Alain Cribier performed the first transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Advances in device technology and procedural techniques have significantly enhanced the safety of TAVI over time. Today, TAVI is increasingly the treatment of choice, regardless of the surgical risk.
While numerous compelling studies have been conducted and new findings are reported daily, many clinical questions remain unanswered. What is the optimal use of balloon-expandable versus self-expanding transcatheter heart valves? What new roles can imaging modalities such as CT and MRI play in preprocedural risk assessments? How can stroke prevention best be achieved with cerebral embolic protection devices? What are the optimal techniques and pre-procedural assessments for valve-in-valve procedures, including TAV-in-TAV? What are the best treatment strategies for patients with challenging anatomy, such as hemodialysis patients and those requiring alternative approaches? How can we leverage artificial intelligence to enhance the TAVI procedure?
In this Special Issue, our goal is to present cutting-edge advancements in the established field of TAVI and to address the challenges that remain. We would like to invite all researchers involved in TAVI to contribute original articles and comprehensive reviews for the further advancement of this field and to share new knowledge. Together, we will push the boundaries of TAVI, fostering further progress in the field and sharing groundbreaking insights.

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. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
