Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coronary interventional therapies have undergone significant advancements in recent years, revolutionizing the management of coronary artery disease (CAD). As the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, CAD necessitates continuous innovation to improve patient outcomes. This Special Issue highlights the latest breakthroughs in coronary interventions with a focus on collecting articles that explore the most recent advancements in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), stent technology, as well as approaches to bifurcation lesions, chronic total occlusions (CTOs), left main disease, in-stent restenosis (ISR), stent thrombosis, and multivessel interventions with a focus on enhancing precision, safety, and efficacy. Additionally, we want to highlight the emerging trends in the usage of personalized medicine, bioabsorbable vascular scaffolds, and innovative imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular imaging (IVUS) that may affect optimal treatment planning. Furthermore, the influence of operator experience, family presence during PCI, and the role of fasting protocols in improving procedural outcomes will be examined. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of multimodal risk assessment and the application of artificial intelligence in decision-making.
This issue aims to provide clinicians with a comprehensive overview of the current landscape and future directions in coronary interventional therapies and will additionally give them insights and guidance to improve patient outcomes in interventional cardiovascular care.
