Abstract:
Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) has created an epoch-making treatment approach to coronary artery disease(CAD).Over the last four decades,following constant progress of the new PCI technology and instruments,following the wide application of coronary stents,especially with drug-eluting stents(DES),PCI indications significantly broaden to cover more complex lesions and more high-risk patients.Some of the contraindications have shifted to indications of percutaneuous coronary intervention and some of former absolute contraindications are turned to relative contraindications.The change in indications and contraindications of PCI to coronary artery disease reveals the rapid development of percutaneuous coronary intervention.
