Balloon angioplasty is a key treatment for coronary artery disease, offering high success rates and quick recovery. While effective, limitations like restenosis exist, though coronary stents have improved outcomes.

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Medicine
Interventional Cardiology

Context:

Balloon angioplasty has been a primary myocardial revascularization technique for two decades.
Procedures are increasingly performed on an ambulatory basis under local anesthesia via arterial puncture.

Purpose:

To review the established role, outcomes, and limitations of balloon angioplasty in coronary artery disease.
To highlight the impact of coronary stents as a significant advancement.

Summary:

Balloon angioplasty demonstrates over 95% success in the general population, with rapid return to normal activities.
It is effective for single, double, and triple vessel disease, particularly in high-risk patients.
Limitations include chronic lesion passage failure, complications (1%), acute occlusion (5%), and restenosis (30-50%).

Impact:

Coronary stents have become crucial, exceeding 50% of procedures, improving angioplasty's efficacy and reducing restenosis.
Balloon angioplasty remains vital for acute myocardial infarction treatment, complementing or replacing thrombolytic therapy.
