Abstract

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) continues to advance, improving outcomes across diverse patient populations and complex lesion types. Key developments include enhanced drug-eluting stents, refined management of chronic total occlusions and complications, and tailored strategies for elderly and chronic kidney disease patients. Intracoronary imaging guides optimal stent placement, while specialized techniques address bifurcation lesions. Evolving antiplatelet therapies balance risks, and urgent PCI shows promise for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. These innovations collectively underscore PCI’s critical role in modern cardiovascular care.
