Abstract:
The number of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) has more than doubled in the Netherlands over the past 15 years. In part, this is due to an increase in PCI for stable angina, and it is questionable whether this is justified since recently published trials, including the Courage study, show that there is no survival benefit of PCI for stable angina. This paper discusses the treatment of stable angina, the importance of optimal medical treatment, and the indication for PCI in selected patients.
