Abstract
When Andreas Gruentzig performed the first percutaneous coronary angioplasty on an awake patient in 1977 (Zurich, Switzerland), he created the nascent field of interventional cardiology and ushered in a new era of coronary revascularization. Percutaneous coronary transluminal angioplasty (PTCA) was positioned to serve as an alternative and complement to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and optimal medical therapy. As in many medical fields, the advancement of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been punctuated by innovations and pitfalls. Nevertheless, indication for PCI has broadened in the past 10 years, and the number of catheterization laboratories has increased to face the changes in the treatment strategies of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
