Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • The narrative traces the evolution of interventional cardiology at Westmead Hospital, commencing with the first coronary angioplasty in 1983.
  • It highlights the development of expertise, with all cardiologists trained in angioplasty by the late 1980s.

Observation:

  • The introduction of coronary stenting in 1993 marked a significant improvement in procedural success and complication reduction.
  • Drug-eluting stents, first deployed in 2002, further reduced restenosis rates, enhancing long-term outcomes.
  • The scope expanded to include primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction (1998) and inter-hospital patient transfers (1999).

Findings:

  • Non-coronary angioplasty, including carotid and renal artery stenting, commenced in 1996 and 1999, respectively.
