Guidelines for Percutaneous Coronary Interventions [PDF]
In patients with stable CAD, PCI can be considered a valuable initial mode of revascularization in all patients with objective large ischaemia in the presence of almost every lesion subset, with only one exception: chronic total occlusions that cannot be crossed. In early studies, there was a small survival advantage with CABG surgery compared with PCI

Percutaneous coronary intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the dominant method for mechanically improving myocardial perfusion in the treatment of coronary artery disease. The procedure is performed via a small intra-arterial sheath and usually involves a single overnight stay in hospital. Day-case treatment is not infrequent. A balloon is used to dilate the coronary
