Angiology refers to systematic study of diseases and disorders related to blood vessels including hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke and coronary artery diseases. Over the recent years, with increased research emphasis on cardiovascular diseases, medical information on vascular abnormalities and diseases hadconcomitantly expanded. Crossing the disciplinary demarcations, there have been several significant advances in the prevention and treatment of vascular disorders. In this context communication of research outcomes through open access platforms has immense role in coordinated and integrated approaches and translation of findings into clinically effective solutions.

Angiology: Open access is an International well-established online open access journal publishing peer-reviewed articles on vascular diseases and treatments. The Journal aims to furnish recent advancements, new developments as well as novel insights while providing en effective communication platform for proposing new research hypothesis, expert opinions through publication of critical reviews, perspective, short note communications and commentaries. The Journal provides a wide scope for accommodating different topics of allied research in neurology, cardiology, oncology, diagnostics, therapeutics, surgery and clinical research. The specific topics that are considered include angiogram, ischemia, iliac artery, stent, lymphedema, deep vein thrombosis, thoracic aortic aneurysm, hyperlipidemia, aneurysm, endarterectomy, venous insufficiency, pulmonary thrombosis, and bypass surgery.

The journal fast tracks the manuscript processing including peer-review with average turnaround time of 28 days from the date of initial submission. The Journal also takes keen interest in post-production promotion of the published articles via abstracting and indexing databases as well as digital promotion of the articles through various social media and offline platforms. The articles published by the Journal were cited 140 times by eminent academicians and research articles worldwide. In the current volume, the journal has published ten peer-reviewed articles allocated in two consecutive journal issues, contributed by fourteen authors from different regions of the world. The topics of research in the current volume includes computed tomography of ligament varicosity and varicose veins, clinical research in vascular diseases, emerging research areas in angiology, magnetic resonance imaging to detect atherosclerotic plaque morphology, advances in vascular surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, etiology of prostechtomy.

The editorial board of the journal is constituted by thirty eminent academicians and clinicians from different geographical locations across the world and is spearheaded by Dr. Brad A Bryan, Paul Foster School of Medicine, Texas Tech University, U. S. A. All the submitted articles are subjected to expert single blind peer-review and after editorial processing, the accepted articles are published following scholars open access publication policies and ethics under creative common attributions license allowing the readers free and unrestricted access and reuse. Angiology: Open access is an active member of Publisher International Linking Association and a Council Contributor Member of Council of Science Editors. The Journal is compliant with NIH public access policy and all the NIH funded research outcome articles among the published articles are immediately uploaded by the Journal to the Pubmed database. The Journal accepts diverse forms of science communications including research, reviews, case studies, commentaries, short note communications, clinical images and editorials. I extend my best wishes to the contributing authors, editors and reviewers for compilation and release of the next issue in the current volume.
