Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The arterial and venous wall is a highly specialized three-dimensional structure capable of withstanding changes in blood pressure, flow, and shear stress throughout the life of the organism. While the arterial intima plays an essential role in the pathomechanisms of atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysms through the involvement of its endothelium, collagen and elastin are the major adventitious constituents that determine the mechanical properties of the arterial wall and play an essential role in the biomechanics of arterial aneurysms. In contrast, the biomechanical properties of the venous wall are a topic of interest, with few articles published in the literature. It is crucial to analyze the biomechanical properties of the vascular wall to identify predictive factors of structural changes with a predictive role in aneurysmal development.The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish a series of relevant papers presenting some of the most important current advances in understanding the biomechanical properties of the arterial and venous wall and their implications for arterial aneurysmal development (abdominal aortic aneurysm, thoracic aortic aneurysm, etc.), venous aneurysmal development (arterio-venous fistula for dialysis), as well as venous remodeling regarding the use of vein grafts in CABG and PAD revascularization.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
