Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Western countries. In the last decade, advancements in revascularization devices and techniques (newer-generation drug-eluting stents, intravascular imaging, routine use of the radial access route) paved the way forward to the interventional treatment even in patients at high risk (“complex and high-risk intervention in indicated patients” or CHIP). Nonetheless, a not negligible proportion of patients still experience long-term adverse events despite guideline-recommended medical and interventional treatments. This Special Issue is focused on the latest advancements in the field of interventional cardiology, moving from pharmacological treatments to cutting-edge technologies to further reduce the risk of adverse events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions.
