Final acceptance and publication. After completion of the peer-review process, a final acceptance decision by the Editorial Board is communicated to the corresponding author, together with instructions for payment of the Article Processing Charges (APC) via the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC). Upon receipt of the APC, the manuscript enters the production process and, following author validation of the proofs, is published online.
EuroIntervention Case Reports publishes 3 online-only issues per year.
Article production. Accepted manuscripts are sent to the production department for grammar and clarity checks and proof preparation. Galley proofs are sent to the corresponding author, who is responsible, on behalf of all co-authors, for carefully reviewing the proofs, addressing all queries, and returning the corrected proofs promptly.
For articles accepted for fast-track publication, the same steps apply within a condensed timeline requiring a shorter response time.
After acceptance, the manuscript will not be modified, except for grammar, spelling, or typographic corrections. Substantial changes to the text, tables, or figures will require the manuscript to re-enter the review process.

Retraction and Editorial Expression of Concern
If scientific misconduct is alleged, or concerns are otherwise raised about the conduct or integrity of work described in submitted or published papers, the Editorial Board of EuroIntervention Case Reports will follow the recommendations of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and will conduct an investigation. The Editorial Board of EuroIntervention Case Reports will consult the members of the relevant Ethics Committee and contact the authors with their concerns. Should the Journal find evidence of misconduct, the article will be retracted, or an editorial expression of concern will be published. The authors and their superiors will be contacted along with their institution, and the reviewers and the readers will be informed.
