Vascular Specialist International

Aims & Scope

Vascular Specialist International (Vasc Specialist Int, VSI) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal open to everyone involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and/or prevention of vascular diseases.

VSI takes a multidisciplinary approach to vascular diseases by all “vascular specialists”, including vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, interventional cardiologists, angiologists, vascular technologists, and nurses.

Vascular specialists with a profound knowledge of diseases and advanced therapeutic skills are required for the modern practice of vascular diseases, and this journal aims to provide a space for sharing new knowledge between these specialists, irrespective of their affiliated departments.

VSI also seeks to provide knowledge of vascular diseases from all around the world, especially—but not entirely—in Asia.

The journal deals with disease characteristics from different ethnicities and backgrounds, including epidemiology, clinical manifestation, and treatment outcomes in different populations.

The journal also welcomes challenging/informative case reports or innovative technical notes, through which authors can share different experiences and demonstrate how everyday practices are performed in the real world.
