We are happy to announce CVIR’s 2022 impact factor which increased to 2.9! This achievement underscores the exceptional quality and importance of the articles published in the journal.

A big thank you to the journal’s dedicated authors, reviewers, editors, and readers for their invaluable contributions and support!

CIRSE Standards of Practice on Carotid Artery Stenting

This CIRSE Standards of Practice document is directed at interventional radiologists and details the guidelines for carotid artery stenting, as well as the different implementation techniques. In addition to updating all previously published material on the different clinical indications, it will provide all technical details reflective of European practice for carotid artery stenting. CIRSE Standards of Practice documents do not aim to implement a standard of clinical patient care, but rather to provide a realistic strategy and best practices for the execution of this procedure.

As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), CVIR is obliged to follow international ethical codes for publication. Ethical standards for publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications and public trust in scientific findings.

Therefore, it is crucial that authors who submit their paper to CVIR include a “Compliance with Ethical Standards” section in the title page. This section contains five statements: funding, conflict of interest, ethical approval, informed consent and consent to publish.

For all manuscripts (including case reports) that include written details or images relating to individual participants, consent to publish must be obtained from the participants (or their parent or legal guardian in the case of children under 16) and a statement should be included in the manuscript. If your manuscript does not contain data from any individual person, please write “not applicable” in this section.

Please read all details on publishing ethics before submitting your research.

Four decades have gone by since CVIR was established. Back in 1978 Herbert L. Abrams and Eberhard Zeitler founded the journal with the goal of having a platform for scientific communication from all over the world in the field of cardiovascular and interventional radiology.

On this occassion Prof. Hausegger has prepared an anniversary issue of CVIR, published at the same time as the journal celebrates the anniversary at CIRSE 2018 in Lisbon, 22-25 September 2018. A selection of key articles from CVIR’s previous issues, including historical papers, cornerstone papers and other popular articles.

Enjoy the read!
