Abstract

Coronary angiography and revascularization began in the 1960s and has evolved dramatically into a robust platform for not only diagnosis of coronary disease but also complex intervention. The phenomenal number of procedures, over a million by the mid-2000s in the United States alone, has helped improve operator expertise. This coupled with advances in equipment, specifically in stent technology, has made percutaneous intervention an increasingly preferred modality in various clinical scenarios. With this, the world saw ever-increasing revascularization of coronary stenoses in patients ranging from those with asymptomatic lesions to those suffering an acute myocardial infarction. However, even though coronary intervention through both percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting have greatly improved outcomes in the setting of acute coronary syndrome, the same has not been systematically true for stable ischemic heart disease.
