Vascular surgery is undergoing a fundamental shift towards personalized, data-driven care, with biomarkers playing an increasingly important role in diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment decision-making. From circulating proteins to imaging-derived phenotypes and genomic signatures, the spectrum of clinically actionable biomarkers in vascular disease is expanding rapidly, yet their integration into routine surgical practice remains limited.
This Research Topic invites contributions that explore the discovery, validation, and clinical application of biological, imaging, and digital biomarkers across the full scope of vascular surgery. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - biomarkers for perioperative risk assessment in open and endovascular procedures - predictive markers for vascular disease development and progression, - biomarkers for predicting treatment response and postoperative complications, - the emerging use of artificial intelligence and multi-omics in biomarker development and validation. - Basic science, translational, and clinical studies are welcomed.
