Abstract

Although the therapeutic advantage of percutaneous coronary intervention in acute coronary syndromes have been proved in numerous studies, its position in the treatment of stable angina remains a controversial issue. The results of the recent studies did not lead into definite answers for the proper treatment of chronic coronary artery disease. The identification of the patients that will benefit from the interventional approach is necessary and is probably based on the proper screening for myocardial ischemia with noninvasive diagnostic techniques. In this review article, we mention the most recent studies for the treatment of chronic stable angina with respect to clinical outcome and economical consequences.
