Interventional cardiology has advanced into domains once believed to be beyond the reach of percutaneous procedures.

These technically difficult frontiers include bifurcated lesions, small-vessel disease, multivessel disease, diffuse disease, and chronic total occlusions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
