Aims and Scope

CVIR Endovascular is a new multidisciplinary open access journal in the fast-developing field of endovascular treatment. The journal publishes papers on minimally invasive vascular surgical interventions. Diagnostic papers are only published if there is a relation to endovascular treatment. The multidisciplinary journal is intended for ALL specialists working in the field of endovascular treatment.

CVIR Endovascular publishes manuscripts in the area of venous and arterial interventions, including vascular malformations, non-oncological embolisation, peripheral vascular interventions, aortic interventions, emergency medicine and carotid interventions.

CVIR Endovascular publishes a range of manuscript types including original clinical investigations, systematic reviews, case reports and technical reports. We would like to receive manuscripts in accordance with the international standards for publishing. For more information on these guidelines, visit this page on our site.

The field of endovascular treatment is very dynamic and new ideas need rapid communication so that the latest information is available to treat our patients. CVIR Endovascular also wants to stimulate scientific discussions and provide a podium to discuss your research work with your peers. It is the first open peer review journal in the field of endovascular interventions.

CVIR Endovascular is embedded within the Cardiovascular and Interventional Society of Europe (CIRSE).

Prof. Robert Morgan is a specialist Interventional and Diagnostic Radiologist with a major interest in the management of vascular disease.

He is a Consultant Radiologist at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and is an Honorary Reader in Interventional Radiology at St George’s, University of London.

Prof. Morgan has over 30 years’ experience in diagnostic and interventional radiology. He has an international reputation in his specialist field of vascular disease. He can provide a very wide range of diagnostic imaging studies and interventional radiological procedures.

It is a great honour for me to take up the role of Editor-in-Chief of CVIR Endovascular in September 2025.

My aim is to further build on the success of the journal that has been achieved to date by Professor Jim Reekers, the editorial team at CVIR Endovascular, and you the authors of the many published manuscripts that have helped to attain the current Impact Factor of 1.5 - truly an impressive achievement given the journal’s launch in 2017.

Together we will go forward to build on the success to date, and to make CVIR Endovascular the go-to Open Access journal for endovascular specialists.
