The Editor's Choice from Thrombosis and Haemostasis as well as from its open access companion journal TH Open highlights the articles and reviews of the year that have achieved the greatest resonance among our readers. In 2022, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has remained an important topic mandating the need to interrogate the emergence and management of new viral infections.[1] Several of our most highly cited papers have dealt with bleeding and thrombotic complications, their diagnosis, and management in several pathologies, including cancer and pulmonary and COVID-19-associated cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Particular interest was also instigated by a new promising concept of the holistic or integrated care management approach of patients with stroke along with the definition of an “aortovascular hub” aligned with an integrated health care system.[7] [8]
