Scope note: Grupo de técnicas percutáneas empleadas en el tratamiento de la OCLUSIÓN CORONARIA, incluyendo la angioplastia estándar con globo (ANGIOPLASTIA CORONARIA TRANSLUMINAL PERCUTÁNEA), la inserción de STENTS intracoronarios y las técnicas ateroablativas (p. ej., ATERECTOMÍA, ENDARTERECTOMÍA, TROMBECTOMÍA, ANGIOPLASTIA POR LÁSER TRANSLUMINAL PERCUTÁNEA). Estas últimas técnicas eran las formas dominantes de cirugía coronaria percutánea antes de la difusión del uso de los stents.

Scope note: A family of percutaneous techniques that are used to manage CORONARY OCCLUSION, including standard balloon angioplasty (PERCUTANEOUS TRANSLUMINAL CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY), the placement of intracoronary STENTS, and atheroablative technologies (e.g., ATHERECTOMY; ENDARTERECTOMY; THROMBECTOMY; PERCUTANEOUS TRANSLUMINAL LASER ANGIOPLASTY). PTCA was the dominant form of PCI, before the widespread use of stenting.
