Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has been significant progress in the field of Percutanous Coronary Intervention (PCI) due to the development of new technologies and advances in research. Complex coronary artery diseases that were previously only treatable with coronary artery bypass grafting, including chronic total occlusion and left main stem disease, are now successfully treated with PCI, with comparable outcomes. Furthermore, advances in mechanical circulatory support, such as Impella, have further improved the safety and success rate of complex PCI. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on recent clinical advances in PCI.
