Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty: state of the art and future directions

Abstract: Current developments in the practice of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty concern increasing the safety of the procedure and reducing the incidence of lesion recurrence. Technical improvements and increased operator experience have greatly expanded the indications for the procedure. With experience, success in dilating proximal discrete lesions is now almost absolute. Old, calcified lesions and chronic total occlusions remain the barriers to total success. Careful case selection and expert anaesth… Show more

“…Arterial lumen loss after injury is determined by arterial remodelling and neointima and/or plaque formation [46]. Arterial remodelling comprises changes in vessel circumference varying from arterial enlargement to shrinkage and is observed during de novo atherosclerosis, after balloon angioplasty, arteriogenesis and also during sustained blood flow changes [47,48].…”

“…However, there are other potential indications such as coronary small vessel disease and bifurcation lesions . At the dawn of interventional cardiology, the treatment of coronary artery disease with balloon angioplasty alone was an established treatment option mainly limited by acute vessel closure due to acute recoil, flow‐limiting dissections, and late restenosis . Native vessels treated by stent‐ and polymer‐free DCB keep their vasomotion properties, do not have a risk of ISR and late stent thrombosis, and remain possible targets for coronary artery bypass grafts.…”
