Abstract:
Enormous advance was obtained in the field of percutaneous coronary intervention, treatment for coronary artery disease. Drug eluting stent (DES) offers advantages over bare metal stent (BMS) such as reduction in restenosis rates. However, several concerns were proposed when compared with BMS. Currently, numerous technologies are under development to avert the complications of DES, such as stent thrombosis, or to challenge complex lesion, such as left main trunk/bifurcation. We summarized some of the development that is emerging on current management of coronary intervention.
