The procedural success, safety and durability of PCI have dramatically improved because of the advance in technology, refinements in periprocedural adjunctive pharmacology (e.g. glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, alternative thrombin inhibitors), and a better understanding of early and late outcomes. Indeed, it is now one of the most frequently performed medical procedures.
