  • Percutaneous revascularization has demonstrated improved morbidity and mortality in coronary artery disease patients.
  • Newer devices expand treatment options for complex coronary artery disease.
  • Management of acute myocardial infarction, in-stent restenosis, and multivessel disease remains challenging.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous revascularization is a vital therapy for coronary artery disease, with continuous improvements.
  • An early, aggressive approach is generally supported for acute myocardial infarction.
  • Further research is needed to refine percutaneous interventions for optimal patient management.
