Interventional procedures carried out in the USA and Western Europe are growing exponentially. Fascinating techniques are blossoming: some are still at an investigational stage, others have already proven their value.The clinical indications for these interventions are rapidly evolving but still unclear and in many cases an overlap exists with cardiac surgery. It is still unknown what is the best modality of treatment (surgery or angioplasty) for multivessel coronary artery disease; there are a variety of techniques and indications for cardiac interventions. This paper discusses the long-term results of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures for stable and unstable angina, multivessel/single vessel disease, complete and incomplete revascularization and some special interventions such as saphenous vein bypass graft angioplasty and stenting. It is therefore of major importance to try to establish the relative merits of these techniques and their indications to determine their respective niche in the therapeutic arsenal. Longterm follow-up analysis of non-randomized studies is essential to understand the progress made in the field of interventional cardiology. This paper will also address the future as regards cardiac complications for different subgroups of patients who have had a PTCA. Restenosis detection methods are discussed to facilitate a relative risk appropriation. Finally, guidelines for aviation cardiology will be proposed.
