Multi-vessel coronary disease and percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]
The goal of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is to provide a safe, effective, less invasive alternative to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). When introduced by Andreas Gruentzig 25 years ago, he envisioned the procedure to be a technique that would delay the need for CABG until severe multi-vessel coronary disease was present.
