Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac surgery represents one of the leading specialties undergoing continuous improvement and providing many opportunities for enhancements aiming at favorable outcomes. The development of new techniques which are non-invasive or less invasive, as well as the refinement of established procedures have led to significant progress in the last decade. Novel predictive models for risk stratification have contributed significantly to clinical decision making. Meticulous preoperative assessment as well as intraoperative and postoperative monitoring have provided the best practices and contributed to decreasing numbers of complications and mortality, while effectively improving patients’ quality of life. The purpose of this Special Issue entitled “Feature Review Papers in Cardiac Surgery” is to summarize the latest advances in cardiac surgery through a series of review papers. These topics involve not only cardiac surgeons, but also closely related specialties, which are of paramount importance for the quality improvement of clinical outcomes (cardiology, cardiac anesthesia, intensive care etc.). All cardiac surgeons are required to keep up to date with current best practices and new advances as part of their continuous education, and this Special Issue aims to be an important reference for this purpose.

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 Cardiovascular Development and Disease is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
