18 October, 2017. / The very first coronary artery balloon angioplasty is reported to have been performed
by Gruntzig in 1977.1 Subsequently to this, over the past 40 years, there have been
significant advances in coronary angiography and intervention. Coronary artery
interventional techniques have evolved and improved significantly. There have been
considerable device developments, new generation stents and novel antiplatelet
therapy which have all proved to reduce the incidence of the primary periprocedural
complications associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). [No abstract provided. Information taken from introduction] / LG2018
