Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the current era, the management landscape for patients with valvular heart disease, particularly aortic stenosis, has undergone significant advancements, especially with the emergence of transcatheter interventions. Aortic stenosis is a prevalent valvular heart disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and management strategies have evolved to address the challenges posed by this condition. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, offering a less invasive alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement. This innovative approach has reshaped the landscape of aortic stenosis management, providing new opportunities for improving patient outcomes and the quality of life. Similar changes are occurring in the context of other valvular heart diseases, sparking patient selection, procedural refinements and long-term follow-up, and prompting a reevaluation of traditional treatment paradigms.
This Special Issue aims to explore and understand the evolving landscape of heart valve disease management in the current era, with a specific focus on the role of transcatheter interventions. By critically evaluating the impact of these advancements on patient care, we can enhance our understanding of the optimal management strategies and contribute to further refining the delivery of care for patients with heart valve disease. We invite researchers, clinicians and experts in the field to submit their work for consideration. The submissions presented in this Special Issue may include review articles, brief editorials, case reports or original research.
