Background:

Conventional balloon angioplasty has seen significant advancements.
Novel adjunctive techniques are showing promising preliminary results.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of new techniques on coronary angioplasty.
To determine if angioplasty will become the primary myocardial revascularization method.

Main Methods:

Review of developments in conventional balloon angioplasty.
Assessment of preliminary results from novel adjunctive techniques.

Main Results:

Coronary angioplasty is undergoing continuous development.
New techniques show potential to overcome limitations of conventional methods.

Conclusions:

Coronary angioplasty, enhanced by new techniques, may dominate myocardial revascularization.
Randomized trials are essential to guide the optimal application of these treatments.
