| مستخلص: |
Coronary angioplasty (or percutaneous coronary intervention, PCI) is a mature and widely diffused treatment technique for coronary artery disease. Over the last decades, great evolution has been realized concerning the related technology, the pharmacologic armamentarium and operators' experience resulting in improved safety and success rates of PCI. Despite the fact that associated risks have declined over time, since PCIs are invasive procedures, complication rates have always been and still are a vexing reality. They concern the cardiologist who sets the indication, the interventionalist who performs the procedure but most importantly the patient who should be well informed for the anticipated benefits and risks before giving his written informed consent. A concise update on recent data about the most important issues regarding PCI complications is attempted herein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
