Abstract

Myocardial revascularisation by means of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has an established role for the treatment of coronary artery disease. During the past years, the introduction of new-generation drug-eluting stents and improvements pharmacological therapy allowed for an increasing adoption of PCI for myocardial revascularisation. This review summarises the evidence on the role of PCI among patients with multivessel or left main coronary artery disease as well as among those with diabetes or left ventricular dysfunction.
Keywords: PCI; CABG; myocardial revascularisation; stent PCI; CABG; myocardial revascularisation; stent
