CVIR Endovascular Year in Review: 2023

Looking back on 2023, we are thankful for all the exciting updates and successes this year has brought. CVIR Endovascular now has its first-ever impact factor of 1.2!

 

In 2023, the journal published two special issues: one on women's health, and another on sustainability. CVIR Endovascular is dedicated to addressing important issues such as these that affect IRs' daily work. Among our projects like the blog and Author Spotlight series, we have also added a quarterly update, curated by Social Media Editor Sara Lojo, which highlights journal articles on important topics each quarter.

 

CVIR Endovascular aims to offer a podium for discussion among authors, readers, reviewers in the IR community worldwide, from students to experts in the field. We look forward to continuing this mission into next year and thank you all for your continued support and contributions to the journal’s success.

 

All papers that were published this year were of high quality and clinical value, and it is extremely difficult to pick a sample to highlight. Prof. Reekers was given the difficult task of selecting ten articles to showcase this year and we hope you enjoy reading them!

 

Please note the articles are presented in chronological order.
