With the progress of aging, the incidence of vascular calcification (VC) gradually increases, which is correlated with cardiovascular events and all-cause death, aggravating global clinical burden. Over the past several decades, accumulating approaches targeting the underlying pathogenesis of VC have provided some possibilities for the treatment of VC. Unfortunately, none of the current interventions have achieved clinical effectiveness on reversing or curing VC. The purpose of this review is to make a summary of novel perspectives on the interventions of VC and provide reference for clinical decision-making.

Key words: vascular calcification, clinical, pathophysiology, therapeutic strategies, novel findings
